Description
Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters.
Nathaniel Emmons
There is no perfect posture, only better alignment that may put the muscles and joints in a more advantageous position for efficiency. The body functions most effectively when the joints are stacked from head to feet. When we change posture alignment for the better, we change the mechanical pull of the muscles. Changing the mechanical pull puts the muscles at a more advantageous angle for function. The body feels balanced and moves with ease and efficiency
