A light smile or a knitted brow, shoulders proudly squared or slumped in hopelessness, a spring in your step or a shuffle, sparks of love and happiness or sorrow in your eyes, the size of your waist, your muscles and your posture — all of it adds up to the general impression you make. And these parts (chapters) of your life are visible to other people too.

We sum up and consolidate the results of the 30-day challenge for fixing your posture, restoring your balance and releasing the muscular armour.

Days twelve and thirteen of the 30-day challenge. I hope the exercises have become a habit by now and you can add the side plank to the set: two repetitions, 30 seconds on each side

​Start with a two-minute “Japanese bow” and, from today on, add “Grounding” to your practice — bending the body forward for a few minutes. This pose not only gently stretches the muscles and ligaments of the legs, relieves tension in the neck, shoulders and lower back and releases the muscular armour, it also helps us stand more firmly on our own two feet and feel safe.
