posture and alignment

Posture refers to the way you hold your body while sitting, standing, or moving. Good posture involves maintaining a position where your spine is in a natural alignment, minimizing strain on muscles and ligaments. Alignment specifically refers to the proper positioning of bones and joints in relation to each other. Both posture and alignment are crucial for overall health; they can affect balance, flexibility, and the risk of injury. Maintaining good posture and alignment can enhance physical performance, reduce discomfort, and promote better breathing and circulation. Regular awareness and practice can lead to improved body mechanics.
