“Stand up straight!” — one of the more common phrases heard during
childhood. But what exactly does it mean to “stand up straight”? And is it
causing more harm than good? Esther Gokhale thinks so and has dedicated her
life’s work to researching indigenous postures and helping people
incorporate an aligned, primal posture into their daily lives. In this
episode, she goes over some common postural pathologies and gives us
actionable tips to correct these and find our own primal posture. Esther
walks me, step-by-step, through correctly aligning my spine — follow along
with us!
We talk a great deal about natural movement on this show (see episodes
with Erwan Le Corre, Ido Portal and Scott Sonnon), and posture is the
foundational piece of the movement puzzle, folks!
