“Stand up straight!” — one of the more common phrases heard during

childhood. But what exactly does it mean to “stand up straight”? And is it

causing more harm than good? Esther Gokhale thinks so and has dedicated her

life’s work to researching indigenous postures and helping people

incorporate an aligned, primal posture into their daily lives. In this

episode, she goes over some common postural pathologies and gives us

actionable tips to correct these and find our own primal posture. Esther

walks me, step-by-step, through correctly aligning my spine — follow along

with us! 

We talk a great deal about natural movement on this show (see episodes

with Erwan Le Corre, Ido Portal and Scott Sonnon), and posture is the

foundational piece of the movement puzzle, folks!
