Do you know there are activities and exercises you can do a few times each week to really improve your posture? This workshop, part lecture and part demonstration, helps to improve your posture, alignment and overall well-being using techniques, simple props and exercises based in Pilates, biomechanical principles and functional fitness. Within a few weeks, you will be standing taller, stronger and with more confidence. Good posture also reduces falls and back pain.
