Posture, Breath, and Ease: Alignment for Wellbeing

In today’s fast-paced, screen-dominated world, tension and stress often distort our natural posture, leading to misalignment, discomfort, and shallow breathing. These imbalances not only affect our physical health but also diminish our energy, mood, and overall sense of ease.

This 4-part workshop series explores the essential connection between posture, breath, and well-being. By blending anatomical insights with practical exercises and mindfulness, you’ll learn to realign your body, optimize breathing, and restore a sense of stability and freedom in movement.

Through guided stretches, awareness practices, and alignment techniques, you will:

• Build core strength and spinal flexibility
• Release tension in the upper and lower body
• Develop tools for better posture during daily activities
