Posture Medicine: How to “Unhunch” with Aesha Tahir

There is a little-known fact that our posture is a highly accurate indicator of one’s overall health and wellness. For those of us who live a high-output lifestyle, hunched over a steering wheel, a computer screen, or a work table, our spine slowly loses its strength and flexibility. Our body takes the form we place it in the most, so it’s not surprising that most of us suffer from poor posture. Luckily, however, our posture is one of the easiest things to fix. Even more so, the more we strengthen our spine, the more power our bodies and minds will have to tackle the day’s challenges and expand one’s consciousness. 

As a yogi, and a singer, we have developed an awareness of how we hold our bodies while working, commuting, resting, and playing. We do so so that we can perform each of those tasks more efficiently while alleviating the effects of stress on the physical body. 

Posture is a topic that has come up quite often during our past episodes. Whether we are talking about how to breathe correctly, how to tap into your body’s ability to heal itself, or how to become more expressive of your gifts, posture is a key element in the discussion. 

In this episode, however, we reached out to Aesha Tahir, a wellness consultant, and human exercise physiologist, to go deeper into the science behind posture and wellness. We found her insight and experience extremely valuable in our quest to stay healthy and happy while trying to have it all.
