Engage This Core Muscle to Change Your Posture!

As a dancer, I think a lot about postural alignment and not only when I am on the stage, but also in everyday life, which is when I have to challenge myself to remember what muscles to engage in keeping the right posture.

Whether you are a dancer or not, the truth is that walking into a room exuding confidence and charisma is closely related to our postural alignment. Our posture is unconsciously perceived by people before we even say a word.

In this brief video, explore with me how Flamenco dancers engage one very special muscle called the Transversus Abdominis, our deepest abdominal muscle, which can help up maintain a fabulous postural alignment. This in turn, will not only help us prevent pain, but also can boost our confidence and mood.
