You don’t see inspired people slouching do you? Very rarely do inspired people hunch over. How we hold ourselves says much about who we are! Moods and muscles are so closely linked. Stand (or sit) tall and observe the instant mood lift you get. Slouching is for grouches! Here’s why.
Hunching shortens the pectoral muscles which then pulls the shoulders forward. This position long term, causes chest restriction where the stress cycle continues to perpetuate through the body-mind and energy.
Pelvic tilt is associated with lower back pain and is often a result of sitting too long without any corrective care.
Tight hip flexors (iliopsos muscles) can lead to a weakening of the core – or even be a result of it. Once again this perpetuates the cycle of pain and restriction through the body, diminishing vitality and wellbeing.
