Hello Reader,

Do you know the difference between posture and alignment?

Posture can be seen from the outside.
It's the visible orientation of your body. It's the way you're sitting or standing.

Alignment, however, encompasses the invisible forces created through relationship.
It's the required positioning and coordination of different parts in relation to each other.
For example, how your ribs relate to your pelvis, or how your head balances on top of your spine.

What looks like good posture often isn't great alignment. When you think "sit up straight," you might be tempted to thrust your chest up and squeeze your shoulder blades together, but this can lead to a lot of tension and even joint dysfunction and pain. Not great alignment.

In an ideal world, the base of your ribs align directly over the bowl of your pelvis, and your arms hang at the sides of your body, your shoulder blades resting on your ribs.

Many of you are actively working on improving your alignment through classes with me,
and are thereby changing your posture over time. Woohoo!

This is what I love about Pilates!
We’re not just adjusting how you look from the outside.
We’re refining how your body organizes itself from the inside.

If you're ready to join me on the next round of classes, hit the button below and let's get started!

If you need some help navigating which class is a good fit for you, I'd love to help guide you.

And while we're here...

For those of you who wanted to join but couldn't make the date for the upcoming retreat REPLENISH, I'm delighted to announce a new date for this offering. We'll be joining together on March 28th out here in Jordan River. This date is much more aligned, and I'd love to have you join in if you can!

Until next time, take very good care.

❤️
Meg
