Posture Grip ALIGNMENT

Do posture corrector or PROPS work?

Having good posture is a great goal, most posture props and corrector don't help you achieve it. In fact, some of these devices can do more harm than good. This can cause the core muscles you'd normally use for better posture to relax and weaken. We don’t like the fuss, and we don’t want to put them away later. We may view our need for them as a handicap, or we think we should be actively stretching even in meditation, which is really a time for letting go of body focus and moving inward. Or we practice a lot of asana and want to believe in our uniform flexibility, that our hips are sufficiently "open" enough to withstand a sustained lotus pose without repercussions. Or we want to look like those pictures of ancient gurus sitting on bare rocks in deep bliss. Regardless of our reasons for foregoing support, the truth is that many of us have, from walking, running, or sitting a lot, which may be accompanied by challenges related to our individual hip and pelvic structures.

Whatever the cause, sitting low to the ground is physically challenging, and when practicing meditation, the challenge should be about our minds, not our backs, necks, and shoulders. We teach and train to use props until you gain the strength on PGA

That's where a good mat towel comes into play.
