STANDING TALL:  POSTURE
Standing

You can find your natural vertical by imagining your spine as a plumb weight. If that’s too
hard to imagine, watch a 5 or 6 year old child as he/she stands and walks. Children at
that age are closer to the ground and haven’t yet learned any bad habits, like hunching
or walking with their eyes looking at their toes.

Stand in front of a full-length mirror in your bare feet. Put your feet bout 2 feet apart and
make sure they’re facing forward. Lift your chin. Loosen the tension from your shoulders
by lifting them up and letting them fall back in place. Shake your arms to encourage a
natural drop from your shoulders. Try to stretch your body higher without moving your
feet. Pull in your hips. You should now look relaxed and natural.
