Welcome to this short little taster video - of how to get your rib cage moving and your thoracic spine which in turn can help you set up and be aware of better posture.

This can be thought of like your ribs swing forward and backward like a swinging bell, and for daily posture we want them still in the middle. If you can feel the movement of the rib cage and define for you a mid position - that's great as it helps the body remember. Try this little exercise maybe 5 to 10 times at a time initially to train the body awareness, then put it in place every time you sit or stand throughout your day. Automation is valuable!!

When flexing the bell swings backwards and when extending the bell swings forward - helpful for exercising and knowing where your ribs should be; in, open or mid. This way you know the muscles are on holding them in place!

I hope you enjoy this session and remember to only do what is comfortable in your own body.

If you have any injuries or medical issues, this session may not be suitable.
