Posture Coaching

Your personalised approach

Sometimes we need a little help to get to where we want to be. My one-to-one coaching sessions take place in-person and online. So you can get posture help no matter where you live. If you’d like to ask me how I can help, schedule a free zoom or phone consultation, I’d be happy to chat.

My Approach to Effective Posture coaching

I can’t lie and tell you there’s one quick fix to your posture problems. If only there was!

My posture coaching approach is more comprehensive, and focuses on your body posture, your posture awareness, learning how to hold yourself effortlessly well, and your space or environment.

It’s all part of my Brain Body Space method.

Easy body awareness and posture skills. Take control of how you sit stand and move and learn this effortless skill

Find how to sit or stand effortlessly at your computer, and how to get your chair, desk, keyboard mouse and monitor perfectly positioned – just for you

 

Learn and practice new posture and ergonomic skills at your own pace, in your own time

 

Great Posture for YOU and YOU alone!

One-size-fits-all solutions are never going to work for everyone. Your body shape, size, habits, and old injuries mean you’re in need of a personalised solution.

Together we’ll figure out the best way to fix your posture for good – no short term patch! By working together you get real-time feedback on how you’re improving, what’s working for you, and how to keep it all going so you can look forward to a comfortable future.

 

Good posture Is More Than Just working out. you don’t need to be a muscle-mountain or a “super-flexible-mega-stretcher” to Have good posture

We don’t all have hours to spend in the gym doing uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous exercises. The modern idea of posture is all about looking buff, but that’s just not an option for most of us. You can blame social media for making us all want to look like supermodels.

We may not be muscled, tanned and gorgeous but we CAN have good-looking, comfortable, effortless posture.

 

Of course you can!

 

Small but effective changes are the key to Maintaining Results

Fixing your posture isn’t an event. You don’t just do something or other and then you’re fixed.

Fixing your posture is a process. So we learn how to sit well, how to stand well, how to use a computer well, how to feel and look better without effort.

So you change over time, and the changes stick. Easy!

My posture used to be awful, really really bad. But over time I learned how to have really comfortable, effortless, expansive posture. And I’m on a mission to help you have that too!

 

But what if I’m not in the UK?

Let’s Get Going!

There really is no time like the present to get on top of your posture problems. They aren’t going to get better on their own. And, let’s be honest, telling yourself to stand up straight hasn’t worked, has it?

 

More aware of my body! The Alexander Technique session from Jame Crow helped me find out the poor posture of playing which I haven’t noticed. I became to be more aware of my body since a small movement change does prevent the muscle soreness and make my piano practice more efficient.
Xiaoni ShenPianist
I found the session very useful, as James explained how I could help myself more – it is not easy! I am hoping that this will enable me to apply the Alexander Technique when I need it.(Don’t worry, I haven’t mastered it yet). It was great to see and hear James via Zoom.
Judy
Whether it is a face to face or online session it is always a pleasure to work with James. His Alexander Technique sessions are relaxed & informal but at the same time professional, informative & effective. Highly recommended.

I’ve worked with James for around four years now. He is a superb practitioner — very experienced and with a deep sensitivity to the body and its marvels — but also carries this all with a light touch and a sense of humour. Alexander Technique with James can feel like exercise, therapy, relaxation and a coaching session all at the same time! It’s also been great to work with James remotely during the lockdown — he came up with some inventive and helpful ways to keep practising and to help me keep in good shape whilst working from home. I can’t recommend James highly enough!
Scott ThurstonUniversity Lecturer
Enjoying the sessions I am having, they are effective and interesting with the quality of audio and video making it as if James in the same room. Really easy to embody what is being taught and great to practice whilst being given guidance in the comfort of your own home. There is a plan and structure to the lesson and after it has been completed I always effortlessly continue what has been learnt because it’s so easy to learn and presented simply.
Phil NeillIT Specialist
We had a virtual session which ran smoothly. James guided me to adopt and maintain a sitting posture that would be more beneficial to my body, and in my case neck. He addressed my individual issues, and was happy to discuss things I raised. He made me realise how important these matters were and how paying attention to them could improve my life.

My 10-year-old daughter, who plays piano went to James’ Alexander Technique class two year ago for the first time. James gave her some exercises to avoid tension in her playing, and to relax her hands, especially the left hand. Those exercises are so useful, my daughter is still doing that.
Lihua
Brilliant, friendly and focused support.
Ben
James is a fantastic Alexander teacher. He has been patient in supporting me in learning about how to move (and think) differently. His insights and deep understanding have been invaluable, ensuring our sessions are a constant progression.

Mobile phone use is a top culprit for neck pain 💯 💫 You can see in the first pic the phone screen dragging me in. Literally. Our eyes lead our posture down and into the screen, drawing our heads down with it as they go. And this posture over time leads to what's called "text neck", the jutting forward and down of our heads on our necks. And look at my rounded shoulders.... Ouch! 😖 My neck definitely didn't like me sitting in this position. If you want to beat it, you've got to learn a different way of looking at your phone. It's simple to do but hard to remember! 👇 💫 As you can see in the second pic, I have simply brought the phone up to me, instead of me going down to the phone. 'Dock' the phone to you instead of the other way round. Much more comfy and no more neck pain! 🙌 Give it a go today! 🙂👍 . . . . . #textneck #neckpain #posture #posturetips #posturecoach #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher #posturepain #wellbeing #mindfulness

Some of you may never have heard of sit-bones! 🤷‍♂️ I know I hadn't before becoming a Alexander Technique teacher. Sitting on your sit-bones means comfortable sitting without the effort of sitting up straight (eek, strain!) or the collapse of a lethargic slump (snore!)💤 Sit-bones are bones in your butt for sitting on, just like you have feet for standing on! How do I find my sit-bones I hear you say? Easy! to find them have a go at putting both hands, palm up, under your backside, and feel around for the two round bones. They’re in there, I promise! 💯 When you have found them, try mega-slumping and notice that they disappear behind your hands, and try sitting up far too straight so that they disappear away in front of your hands. You can tell, somewhere in the middle is good support for a relaxed neutral spine, letting your sit bones rest into your chair, leaving your spine nice and long, and your head balancing freely on top of that nice long comfortable spine 🙂 👍 This is great for desk workers who have to spend long periods sitting down 👩‍💻 💫 If you need help with this a Alexander Technique teacher can guide you and show you lots more ways to become more aware of your posture! 🙂 . . . . . . #sitbones #sittingposture #ergonomics #deskworkers #workingfromhome #howtosit #posture #backpain #backpaintips #posturecoach #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher #wellbeing #mindfulness

This is great for desk workers who have to spend long periods sitting down 👩‍💻

Oof! Would you just look at that bad ironing! 😁 NO, I don't mean the shirt, I mean the posture! It's all too easy to lock those knees and to curve the spine over to get your ironing done. But it won't do you any favors! 💯 Look, there on the left, the knees are locked tight and the upper back is doing the bending. Ouch! 😖 Much better to unlock those knees and let the legs bend, to bring you lower to the ironing board 👍 This also really helps you get into the flow of ironing, swaying this way and that as the silver shiny platter slides slickly over the silky shirt (having a mindful moment there!)🧘‍♂️ 💫 Unlocking your knees is also a great idea when you're over the kitchen sink, or when you're cleaning your teeth. In the Alexander Technique we call this simple move the 'monkey' 🐒 But you could call it anything you want. Just be sure to leave that neck nice and long, don't pull it back down into the shoulders as you monkey around. And in case you're wondering, I still did a terrible job of ironing the shirt. But at least my back wasn't tired afterwards 😄👍 💫 For lots more posture tips, see link in bio . . . . . . #posture #ironingposture #posturetips #backpain #themonkey #standingposture #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher #mindfulness #wellbeing #dailyhabits

Here are my 4 key reasons for poor posture 👇 💫 1. Trying too hard and being too tense 😖 The tenser we get the more we pull down into ourselves with our tight muscles 💫 2. Being too relaxed. Conversely, slumping and flopping around isn't going to help our posture either! 💫 3. Being focussed too much outside ourselves. Our attention can focus on many things at once - but you can be aware of your posture whilst you get stuff done. Think about golfers - they're obsessive about that! ⛳ 💫 4. Being focussed too much inside ourselves. can you feel your right foot?🦶 Notice how your attention 'went down' to your foot. Your eyes 👀 probably glanced down there too. Our eyes and heads follow our attention (imagine a learner driver leaning forward to concentrate on the road), and that can pull our posture down a bit too Good posture is freeing, open and upright. See if you can be self-aware while you look out into the world, and be expansive without effort. Give it a go! 🙂👍 . . . . . . . #posture #poorposture #posturehelp #postureawareness #goodposture #mindfulness #golf #golfersposture #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher

Hope everyone had a good bank holiday weekend and had a good rest and recharge! 🌞 When you are back to it today, take a moment to think how you are standing at your desk or if you are sitting could you try switching to standing for some of your tasks? Alternating between sitting and standing is really good for your posture 💯 Give it a go! 🙂 So how can you stand effortlessly with less pain, less tension and less fatigue? 🤷‍♀️ 💫 While standing at your desk, think of sending the support from your pelvis down into the floor. At the same time allowing your head to float upwards away from your pelvis so you are a bit like a two-headed arrow from the pelvis upwards and the pelvis downwards. The benefits are it helps you to stand upright with less effort so it's less tiring. It also helps you to avoid tension and aches and pain in your back 👌 Alexander Technique teachers can teach you how to stand effortlessly and lots more! 🙌 See link in bio for my Alexander Technique zoom lessons 💫 . . . . . #standingposture #backpain #workingfromhome #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher #lesspain #posture #posturetips #wellbeing #mindfulness #workingfromhomepain #deskposture

Sometimes you just have to put out a quick email or two on your your laptop, or make a shopping order 👩‍💻 Grab that laptop and head for the sofa, for sure, but also take a moment to set yourself up! You can see from the pictures here that even the better posture isn't ideal - but hey, it's a million times better than the alternative, which includes a craning neck with forward head posture, compromised breathing and digestion, and bad arm and wrist positions, all at the very least! 👎 All I did here was to grab a couple of cushions and put them behind my back, and the cushioned laptop tray helps a lot too 🙂👍 Because we all know, that a one-minute email never quite stops there, and before you know it you've spent half an hour in a bad position, just because the email seemed more important than your health. Ouch! 😖 For lots more posture tips and online posture courses, see link in bio 💫 . . . . . #posture #wellbeing #neckpain #backpain #rsi #sittingposture #ergonomics #posturecourses #posturetips #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher

Self reminder! Make time for rest days 🌞 It was really nice yesterday to take some time out and go for a countryside walk, it's good for you physically and mentally 💯 I even got chance to have a nice lie-down on a pebbly beach 🙂 This is what us Alexander Technique teachers call lying down in a semi-supine position. All you need are some books (or in my case, a shoe! 😂) to rest your head on. Your knees up in the air, and your feet flat on the floor for 10-15 minutes. This will help free your neck muscles and take pressure off your spine 👌 Give it a go! It's a great one to do at the end of a busy working day too to de-stress and rest your back 👍 . . . . . #restdays #takeabreak #alexandertechnique #posturecoach #alexandertechniqueteacher #semisupine #backpain #neckpain #wellbeing #posture

It's taken years to get your posture, years! 💯 You can improve your posture in an instant (you could do that now, by changing how you're sat 👩‍💻 or standing🧍‍♂️). But that won't stick. 🌟 Postural improvement has three main requirements - your Body, your Brain, and your Space 🌟 These three factors are what has built you up, into what you are today. You look like your posture, and, guess what, your posture looks like you. 🌟 It's generally easy to spot someone who's police, or army, or a teacher. It's in the way they move and hold themselves 👮‍♀️ 🌟 But what are you? Are you a sofa-slumper? A text-necker? Are you too uptight? Or maybe a little the other way? Whatever type of person you are, it shows! 🌟 Stopping thinking like a slumper will, over time, stop you acting like a slumper, which will change who you are, so you stop looking, stop presenting, like a slumper. Body, Brain, Space. This broadcast was brought to you by 'brain'. Thanks brain! 🧠 🙌 💫 To find out more about my Body, Brain and Space method check out my website posturestars.com 😀👍 . . . . . . . #posture #postureawareness #posturematters #posturecoach #mindfulness #posturemindfulness #alexandertechnique

If you aren't that familiar with the Alexander Technique, you may be wondering what type of people benefit the most from having sessions 🤷‍♀️ Over the years I’d say I’ve worked most with GP’s, nurses and teachers, maybe just because their jobs are so hard. They spend so much of their time caring for other people, and in the meantime forget to care for themselves.

If you aren't that familiar with the Alexander Technique, you may be wondering what type of people benefit the most from having sessions 🤷‍♀️

Over the years I’d say I’ve worked most with GP’s, nurses and teachers, maybe just because their jobs are so hard. They spend so much of their time caring for other people, and in the meantime forget to care for themselves.

Isn't it crazy how we get lost in our screen? 💁‍♂️If you're old enough to remember, our TV's sat in the corner of the room, a small screen, and you'd see the screen as well as the room around it. But nowadays TV's are much bigger (and arguably more interesting!) and it's normal to lose ourselves in the screen. And computers 👨‍💻and phones 📱 are just the same 💯 🌟 Getting lost in the screen means we lose awareness of our posture, the minutes, hours and days tick past, and it all starts to hurt 😖 🌟 It's possible to manage your posture and look at a screen. Just us talking about this now is enough to bring some of your attention to your posture as you read. 🌟 Try giving all your attention to the screen right now, and see how it literally pulls your 👉 attention towards it. How about putting your attention to the crown of your head? 🙆‍♀️ See how the screen has less of a 'drag' when you do this. 🌟 I like to play around with how much attention I pay to the screen, and how much I pay to myself. 20% you, 80% screen is fine, and it's a big difference from ignoring your body all day. 🌟 Give it a go!

Stretches are a great way to help open your posture up! 💯 Computer posture tends to be head forward and shoulders forwards. And it's this over time that can cause headaches, neck tension, shoulder pain, problems with the arms, upper back pain, and lower back pain 😖 One of my favourites is the Chair Twist 🙂 If you are sitting down at your desk now, why not give it a go 🤷‍♀️ 💫 Please, remember if any exercises are uncomfortable or painful please do not do them. Posture exercises should have a pleasant stretch to them. 💫 This stretch is as simple as twisting around the hand to the back of your chair and enjoying that nice twist through the body. Change round, and we twist round. And we enjoy that nice twist through the body again. Then while your there, you might as well stretch the hips which can become very tight from sitting. Simply place one ankle on top of your other knee. And then lean forwards. And you'll feel that stretch through the outer leg and into the hips as well. This is a really nice stretch that you could do probably without anyone knowing whilst you're on a team session or a zoom call. But really the key to having better posture is MOVEMENT🚶‍♂️ It's constant MOVEMENT 💯 . . . . . . . #keepmoving #postureexercises #stretches #posture #chairtwist #computerposture #headaches #necktension #shoulderpain #backpain #workingfromhome #deskstretches #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher #posturecoach

My best advice to help keep you fit as you get older, is to get moving! 💯 🚶‍♂️ As a posture pro, I’ve worked with everyone from kids to people in their 90’s. And one things stands out every time when I work with seniors. The people with the best posture, mobility, strength and stamina are the ones who’ve gone out, every single day, for a walk 🌳 🚶‍♀️And I mean: Every. Single. Day!! Getting out of the chair and onto the pavement has to be my number one tip 👍 Time and again I’ve asked, “so tell me how you’ve managed to keep so well”, and the answer is always that they’ve kept moving 💯 Moving will keep you limber, supple, and flexible. Getting a good stroll in will get you lengthened, upright and mobile more than any gadget or exercise. And it’s good for the soul too, so what’s not to like. As an added bonus, if you can go somewhere with a view, like a lake, river or canal, you’re onto a winner 🏞 So let me stress this again…Go on, get out there and get some air on your face and some blood moving through those veins 💨 You’ll look and feel better for it! 🙂 💫 Check out my blog on Senior posture at - posturestars.com/senior-posture-find-help/ . . . . . . #keepmoving #seniorposture #howtostayyoung #howtokeepfit #walking #posture #mobility #wellbeing #seniors #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher #posturecoach

Humour me now by doing your best to sit up straight. Please, sit up straight in your best possible posture. Now hold that posture and read through the rest of this page. I think you’ll find the results surprising! 🤷‍♀️ 💫 Whenever we think of good posture we think of images like army Sergeant-Majors. We stiffen our backs and necks, and stick our chests forward. Of course, we might look like our posture has improved. At least for a while… All that pushing and pulling and stiffening isn’t doing you any favours 👎 The effort to do this is substantial. Muscles that remain held for a long time get tired, and then you want to let them go. To slump. To compress your poor vertebrae 😴 And off you go into a see-saw of stiffening then slumping, stiffening then slumping (you know the one!) Alas, if stiffening up like that really worked to improve posture, by now we’d all be walking round, stiff as tree-trunks, with great posture! 🌳 So what if I told you the Alexander Technique can teach you effortless posture without tensing and stiffening! Here's how 👇 💫 The technique teaches you how to be alert and aware of your posture, by being mindful of how you are acting. 💫 You’ll find you can sit, stand and move with less effort and strain, so you experience less pain. You’ll feel and look taller and more relaxed too! 💫 The Alexander Technique works by teaching you to release your spine into it’s full, free length with your head well-poised and balanced on top. 💫 So it’s very different to core-strengthening. In fact you could think of it as core-release. An Alexander Technique Intro session is a good way to get what this means. 💫 By avoiding tightening up and tensing, and replacing these habits with an expansive release into height and width, the technique makes better posture possible without any effort at all 😁👍 For in-person and Zoom Alexander Technique lessons see link in bio 💫 . . . . #alexandertechnique #alexandertechniqueteacher #posture #goodposture #posturematters #posturemonth #posturetips #howtoimproveposture #backpain #neckpain #mindfulness #wellbeingquotes
