As a physical-mind instructor, she gives us her perspective and insight on posture as she associates it with her two disciplines.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wilson says that you\u2019re going to learn the most about your mus<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cular imbalances, postural habits and the best ways to correct it through Yoga and Pilates. She states that \u201cYoga and Pilates are about posture because they encompass the strength of the muscles that support the torso and the spine\u201d. Her goal as an instructor is to give people the awareness and techniques to change the way they hold and move themselves in class.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_390\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-390\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-390 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/recsports\/files\/2017\/12\/IMG_1211-300x278.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/recsports\/files\/2017\/12\/IMG_1211-300x278.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/recsports\/files\/2017\/12\/IMG_1211-768x711.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/recsports\/files\/2017\/12\/IMG_1211-1024x949.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-390\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Holly Wilson, Rec Yoga, and Pilates Instructor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000\"><b>Major problems of bad postural habits<\/b><\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wilson emphasized that head-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">forward, also known as tech-neck is a big problem. She explained that head-forward or tech-neck causes around 60 pounds of displaced weight to rest in the front of the body. This causes slumping through the shoulders which affects your overall balance. Additionally, this can load hip flexors and often causes you to hinge f<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">orward, which results in over-contracting your back and possibly compressing your organs. Another big problem she sees is individuals pushing ribs out and forward which is known as rib thrust, which can cause organ displacement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-389 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/recsports\/files\/2017\/12\/Copy-of-IMG_6324-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/recsports\/files\/2017\/12\/Copy-of-IMG_6324-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/recsports\/files\/2017\/12\/Copy-of-IMG_6324-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/recsports\/files\/2017\/12\/Copy-of-IMG_6324-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><b>Conclusion <\/b><\/span>Good posture involves much more than appearance.
