💬 Your Success Stories

A college student began noticing back pain after long hours of online classes. She realized she’d been slouching constantly. After reading about posture and its impact on mood and focus, she committed to checking her posture once every hour. At first, she had to set reminders, but eventually it became a habit. She felt more confident walking into rooms and noticed fewer headaches. Even her breathing improved. What started as a small adjustment turned into a body-awareness practice that helped her feel stronger and more present. It wasn’t about standing perfectly—it was about standing with intention.
