Posture Changes How You Breathe, Move, and Feel (Movement Longevity Series) | Ep. 57

Posture Changes How You Breathe, Move, and Feel

Posture is the pillar most people skip. It's also the one affecting your breathing, your balance, and how much effort it takes to get through an ordinary day.

This is the fourth episode in a five-part series going behind the scenes of the five pillars of movement longevity. Today Mikah makes her case for posture, and then gives you the three jobs behind every posture practice she teaches.

If you've been told to stand up straight your whole life and it has never changed anything, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What your posture is doing to your breathing, and how to feel it for yourself in ten seconds
Why pulling your shoulders back never holds, and what actually changes the pattern
The invisible box your shoulders have been living in for decades
Which postural muscles switch off from sitting, and how to wake them back up
The three jobs behind every posture practice, and how to use them at home
