Yes, you have been wanting to rectify it but didn’t know how to, right? We have got your back!
Our upcoming online program, Posture Perfect aims to help you reduce the tension that you may not even be aware of and correct your posture effortlessly. The program is based on the unique Alexander Technique, which is a way of learning to identify and release tensions in yourself. It is the HOW of doing anything.
Know before you join – What is posture? Are you keeping a wrong posture? Do you need the correct posture? What is this program about? What is the Alexander Technique? How can this program help? Who is this program for? What are the benefits of this program? How is it different from other such programs?
What is posture?
Posture is not just something that makes us look good. It is a way of using our muscles such that in any situation, we’re using only the muscles that we need to use, no more, no less. This is important because if we’re using less, we end up not being able to do what we want in an effective way. If we’re using more, we’re putting a huge strain on ourselves.
Are you keeping a wrong posture?
The strain due to wrong posture shows up sooner or later as back or neck pain, strained shoulders, and a general feeling of being stressed. If you regularly see these symptoms in your body and the pain just doesn’t seem to go away, you must check your posture.
Do you need the correct posture?
Posture is not a position, it is the way we organise ourselves from moment to moment to deal with whatever is in front of us. It is fluid & dynamic, changing regularly, and is affected by our feelings and moods. It is not a pose or a position and is definitely not static. That is why all of us must know how to achieve keeping a fluid and yet optimum posture. Because we don’t know how many hours a day we spend sitting or standing and having a good posture.
What is this program about?
Posture Perfect aims to help participants reduce tension that they may not even be aware of. This brings about change from the inside, believing in the premise that posture is not something that you have to hold, but it is the natural result of everything working beautifully together, and therefore looks poised and effortless.

Testimonials:
When I’m at work, my position in front of the computer works much better, where I also really benefit from the AT (and what I didn’t really expect) is the growing happiness in just being. That’s really awesome! ~ Michael Wirmberger
You’ve taught me to slow things down, take a deep breath and look at the problem again. I can release from within now, when I realize that I have to. Having a moment to myself can make a lot of difference. ~ Arun S.
The Alexander technique has permeated my consciousness and greatly improved my posture in general. Now, I carry myself with more grace, and anytime I catch myself sagging, drooping or sitting hunched, I take a second to realign. Over time, I have seen myself drooping much lesser. I also have a much greater awareness of when my neck is not aligned. ~ Laina E
