Frequently asked questions
What is this course about?
Posture Reconsidered is a step-by-step informational course that challenges outdated ideas about posture. It covers what posture really is, the different types, the muscles involved, common myths, and key takeaways — all through a modern, evidence-based lens.
What will I learn?
You'll learn that posture isn't a fixed position — it's a dynamic strategy your body uses to manage gravity. The course covers the role of the nervous system, breathing, types of posture, the key muscles involved, and includes a library of exercises to build spinal mobility and resilience.
Who is this course for?
It's aimed at anyone who wants to understand their own posture or professionals wanting to understand their clients posture and implement strategies better — whether you're a Pilates client, a desk worker with aches, or someone looking to move more confidently or a movement professional looking to expand their knowledge from other experts. However, no prior knowledge of movement is needed.
Does the course include exercises?
Yes! It includes a full exercise section (pages of illustrated movements) as well as video links to follow along in real time, all designed to improve your functional spinal mobility.
Will this help with my back pain?
The course reframes how you think about posture and pain. It explains why there's no single "perfect" posture and why movement variety matters more than sitting up straight. It's educational, not a treatment plan, but the knowledge and exercises can support better movement habits.
How long do I do each programme for?
There’s no set amount of time you need to spend on each programme. A good guide is to keep practising until the exercises start to feel more familiar, controlled and a little easier.
Everyone progresses at a different pace, so focus on how the movements feel rather than rushing to move on. Once you feel confident with the exercises and can perform them with good control, you may be ready to try the next programme.
And remember, progressing doesn’t mean you have to leave the earlier programmes behind — they can still be useful to revisit at any time.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes — the booklet is written to be accessible whether you're new to thinking about posture or already familiar with Pilates.
