Posture isn’t the sexiest thing I’ve ever talked about on this podcast, but it is one of the most impactful on my day to day life. In this episode I welcome Graeson Harris and he unpacks the layers of shame and misconceptions about posture and will help us discover a new gateway to being kinder to yourself.
Grae is an online embodiment coach that helps people with chronic pain, tension, and other mind-body stuff get along better with their bodies. Living with chronic pain himself, he became the professional that he needed, and as it turns out, that other people need too. Grae teaches easeful posture, mindful movement, and pain management skills. He is an AmSAT-certified Alexander Technique teacher and, in addition to working with hundreds of people in private practice, he has taught at over a dozen universities and conservatories. Grae is also a father, queer and very neurodivergent.
Here’s what I cover with Graeson Harris in this episode:
- How can posture be used as a gateway to being kinder to yourself?
- How do our internalized beliefs and stories about our bodies shape our posture?
- What is the emotional risk involved in opening up to new possibilities for managing chronic pain?
