What You'll Learn
Learn what proper body alignment looks like and how poor posture can create tension throughout the neck, shoulders, and back. You’ll also understand how everyday habits like sitting at a computer or looking down at your phone can affect the body over time.
Understanding Upright Posture
Learn how slow, intentional breathing can help calm the nervous system and shift the body into a more relaxed parasympathetic state. Proper breathing techniques can also support better circulation, oxygen flow, and overall relaxation.
Nervous System Support
Releasing Tension
Discover gentle pressure stretching techniques designed to target tight muscles, knots, and restricted areas in the upper and mid-back. These methods help improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and encourage the body to relax naturally.
You’ll be guided through how to properly position and use a rolled towel and the Ublock for safe, effective stretching at home. The lesson also includes simple modifications so you can adjust the stretches based on your comfort level and flexibility.
