ACE REVIEWER # 2

"This course is very well written and constructed. Ms. Weiler’s course can meet the learner where they are in terms of academic and experiential background, build on that, and take them to a higher level. This course cuts across disciplines, incorporating information and activities from a variety of fitness and fitness-related modalities – such as ballet, Pilates, yoga, the Alexander Technique, and more."
ACE REVIEWER # 3

I will apply knowledge and techniques learned in this course to assist in secondary stages of rehabilitation for the physically, psychologically, and socially challenged. I gained a personal awareness that I MUST apply this practice in my own life and EVERY day! This course not only exceeded my expectations but also ignited passion for my vocation I didn't even know I had. I talk about it all the time!

"I was not happy with my posture and wanted to improve it. I thought, if my posture is bad now what is it going to be when I get 60, 70 and 80. I knew I had to take action so in 2007 my New Year’s Resolution was to improve my posture. I was already doing yoga 2 to 3 times per week so I added a Pilates class to help strengthen my core. My posture did improve but I was still tight in my lower back and still had what I call a sway back. I also wasn’t satisfied with my shoulder placement but I did not know anything else to try. I thought this is as good as it is going to get. Then Linda Christy started teaching the Postural Realignment exercises. These exercises have made such a difference for me. They help me feel what my lower back and shoulders should feel like when they are in the proper position. Once you learn how it should feel then it is easier to replicate the position. I have seen more results with these exercises than anything I have tried. When you see and feel results it motivates you to continue and makes you want do more. "

"As an exercise professional, [this course taught me] to look at the functionality of posture and movement patterns versus looking at the body in an isolated way. I am also a massage therapist and will use the info I learned in my practice. Thirdly, I will use the sequences to first rebalance my own posture and then when proficient teach the movements to my clients. Please keep these wonderful mind/body courses from LindaChristy Weiler coming. They just improve from one to the next. "
