Posture Perfect

Posture is important during all activities! Have fun learning more and enjoy a painting class at Unicoi Art Studio during this all ages workshop!

You may go a whole day without even thinking about your posture, or the long term affect that improper posture could have on your body. However, maintaining proper posture is the first step in achieving a healthy spine. Why do you need a healthy spine? The spine is linked to your entire nervous system, all of your major organs and even brain functions can be traced back to your spine. 

At work you may have a lumbar support or comfortable, ergonomic chair but how is your posture during your hobbies and leisurely activities? When you are watching TV are you slummed down in the couch? When you carry your groceries are your shoulder heads rounded forward? When you sit down to write in your journal or to paint or draw are you sitting tall and are your abdominal muscles engaged to help support your spine?
