This course is for anyone who wants to improve their posture—whether you experience posture-related stiffness and pain, you injure yourself frequently while engaging in physical activities, or you’re concerned about your posture as you age. If you're a health professional, a fitness instructor, a yoga or Pilates teacher, a parent or classroom teacher, this course will give you the tools needed to help your patients, clients, students, or children.  Anyone and everyone can benefit from learning the information in this course.

No. In fact, this material can be beneficial whether you're an Olympic athlete or you're restricted by stiffness and/or chronic pain. If you're asked to sit on the floor but you cannot, then sit in a chair and picture yourself in your mind's eye—and sense yourself in your body—getting down and back up. Continue to do these mental exercises as you move forward through the lessons. As deep tensions are released, you're likely to find yourself beginning to move in new ways.

Ironically, it's often the most "fit" and "athletic" among us who face the biggest challenges in learning to let go of deeply-held patterns that have been reinforced in their musculature and nervous system.

Wherever you happen to be when you start, it helps to think of making improvements to your posture as an ongoing, unfolding process, rather than a destination you're trying to reach. This is a gradual, unfolding path. Let your goal be to remain mindful of inhabiting your body with the support of aligned bones as many times a day as you can remember. Success will follow!

No problem at all. It's understandable that this approach doesn’t suit everyone. This is why we offer a 14-day money back guarantee. No questions asked.

Starting on the day you sign up, you'll receive instant access to Modules 1 and 2. You'll be given a password and guided through how to log into the platform where the course lives.

You'll be notified each week thereafter that a new module is available. You'll also receive occasional messages whenever future updates are added to the course. (Stay tuned, more lessons are in the works). 

Once completed, your access to the course will be permanent, making it possible for you to review any part of it at any time—forever.

Yes, to a certain extent this is true. I taught natural alignment classes, workshops, and private lessons for over twenty years, and it's certainly helpful having a real-live teacher guiding you through the process.

But here's the thing: In-person lessons are expensive, and when they come to an end, there's little or no opportunity for individually-targeted review, which is often necessary when changing long-standing habits. Moreover, very few people in the world are trained to teach these principles, leaving most people without any options for learning this. 

"PAIN-FREE LIVING WITH NATURAL POSTURE" is a visually rich, comprehensive course that's designed to bridge these gaps. Whether you're learning about natural skeletal alignment for the first time, or you already have a basic understanding of these concepts, this course is intended to provide you with the information and encouragement you need to transform your posture, and to then be able to assist others in doing this, as well. 

As you put these principles into practice, work to develop ongoing curiosity about BEING a solidly strong, yet deeply relaxed body, and you'll soon discover how to become your own best teacher.

One way to consider the value of this course is to consider the difference between having someone else do something to you, rather than you doing something for yourself. Often when we experience pain and discomfort, we get a massage, visit a chiropractor, see an acupuncturist, among others. These visits, while often helpful, can be expensive, and often the results don't last. This online course provides tools for how to inhabit the body with greater awareness of the alignment principles that are likely to free us from these cycles of pain. Is this a quick fix? No. There is no such thing. But when applied and put into practice with growing consistency, we often release ourselves from chronic tension and pain, and save on the expense of getting help from others.

This course is the Standard level, so you’ll be navigating the materials on your own. This is one of the reasons the course is priced as it is, although every effort has been made to be very comprehensive and exacting.

If you find yourself feeling stuck or confused, review the material carefully, and then just keep going forward with subsequent lessons. Progress through the course is not always linear. Some details might make more sense after you've moved further along through the material, at which time you can go back and review earlier questions you might have had. 

Don’t give up! Stay focused and keep practicing. Relax your mind along with your body. Transformation is an ongoing process.

The most common challenge you're likely to face is remembering to mindfully inhabit your body many times a day. Don't beat yourself up if you discover yourself forgetting for long stretches (even days) at a time. The more you do it, the easier it gets.

It’s recommended that you watch the videos in the order they're presented. Absorbing the information shouldn't take more than an hour or so per module, even when stopping to implement what you're learning.

The real work begins after you've absorbed the information, when you MUST make a dedicated effort to pay attention to inhabiting your body/mind with moment-to-moment awareness. Cultivating this skill is the key to your success.

There are no shortcuts to being mindful. When I first began learning this, I wondered how quickly I could  "fix" my posture, so that I could return to being on "cruise control." In other words, how soon could I get back to being unconscious?! I hadn't come to understand yet that this is a lifetime path. 

The good news is that alignment and mindfulness are the perfect partners. While I was a long-time student of mindfulness meditation, focusing my attention on my breath as I sat on a cushion with my eyes closed, it wasn't until I began to focus my attention on something as "concrete" as the alignment of my bones, that my capacity for moment-to-moment awareness while off the cushion grew dramatically. 

Lest I give the wrong impression, I still forget and go unconscious often. The key here is in knowing how to return back "home," and in being willing to do this again and again and again . . .
