Stand Straight

Stand up! Keep your backs straight! Remember that this is where the wings grow.

Martha Graham

Today, parents don’t tell their children to stand straight, like our parents always did. I used to find that quite annoying, but they were right: a good posture is SO important.

There are several physical benefits of standing straight, like strengthening muscles around the core and reducing back pain. It also opens up the airways in the lungs and helps to ensure proper breathing. A well oxygenated body works much better!

There are also several psychological benefits of a good posture. You look and feel more confident and everything seems more positive when you stand straight. A happy smile is sure to follow!

I love Martha Graham’s quote, it always reminds me that a straight back is where the wings grow….!
