They lengthen along the spine and unconsciously push themselves away from the chair or the ground. It feels active and \u201cgood\u201d for a moment, but the body stiffens internally and can no longer respond smoothly to movement.  <\/p><p>When this becomes a habit, you often carry that muscle tension into everything you do \u2014 even when resting, lying down, or sleeping \u2014 which can seriously get in the way of improving posture.<br>When you learn to trust the supporting capacity of your skeleton, you need to do much less. Muscles then become freer for breathing, movement, and balance. Sitting upright becomes lighter, more natural, and far less tiring.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0ee6114\" data-id=\"0ee6114\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ae9685 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1ae9685\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"670\" src=\"https:\/\/www.feldenkraisutrecht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/spelen-met-zand.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1409\" alt=\"Improve posture\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.feldenkraisutrecht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/spelen-met-zand.jpg 885w, https:\/\/www.feldenkraisutrecht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/spelen-met-zand-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.feldenkraisutrecht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/spelen-met-zand-768x643.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0fcc3e7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0fcc3e7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7675ea0\" data-id=\"7675ea0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3b9357 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b3b9357\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Myth 3: \u201cSitting means sitting still.\u201d<\/h2><p>We often think of posture as something static: that you\u2019re only sitting \u201cwell\u201d when you don\u2019t move. But the pelvis is actually designed to be dynamic. It wants to roll over the sitting bones forward and backward and subtly shift from left to right.  <\/p><p>When you allow this play of movement, your whole posture gains more options and improving posture starts to happen naturally. You don\u2019t use muscles to fix yourself in place, but to sense where support is. Your belly, your breath, and the energy in your center participate, making sitting feel alive. A posture emerges that isn\u2019t rigid, but constantly changing, just like the rest of you.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-119c44d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"119c44d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a826440\" data-id=\"a826440\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f5ee02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7f5ee02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Myth 4: \u201cMy back has to hold me upright.\u201d<\/h2><p>The spine is organized far more subtly than we often imagine. Many people picture it as a flat structure because they only feel the spinous processes when lying down. In reality, the vertebrae rest on each other like a flexible tower, supported by the pelvis, of which the sacrum is a part.  <\/p><p>When you allow the pelvis to rest precisely on the sitting bones, the vertebral bodies stack themselves naturally. The front of the lumbar vertebrae even lies deep in the abdomen \u2014 much further inward than most people imagine. <\/p><p>When you can feel this space, your entire posture changes. Sitting becomes simpler, fuller, and more three-dimensional. And standing follows the same principle: sitting, but on your legs. Standing can feel just as effortless when your skeleton is allowed to do its job and you experience yourself more spatially.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-70db173 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"70db173\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3f0422e\" data-id=\"3f0422e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37f223a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37f223a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Myth 5: \u201cIf I pull my shoulders back, I sit straighter.\u201d<\/h2><p>We\u2019ve all learned it: shoulders back, chest out. It feels like you\u2019re straightening yourself, but it\u2019s misleading. Your shoulder blades belong to your arms, not your torso. They give your arms their freedom of movement.   <\/p><p>When you use them to sit upright, your arms lose mobility. Many people who unconsciously do this for years develop shoulder pain because the muscles are constantly working against themselves. The shoulder joint remains under tension.  <\/p><p>When you let go of this habit, calmness and suppleness return to your arms, your breathing, and your upper body. You don\u2019t need to push to be upright; you only need to feel where your body wants to be supported by the skeleton. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdd62fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bdd62fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>A more natural, calmer way of being upright<\/h2>\n<p>Unraveling these myths shows that sitting or standing upright doesn\u2019t have to be effortful.
