An additional technique we use to work towards a correct posture and better coordination is Thai Yoga Massage. With this technique the muscles are stretched and the ROM (Range of Motion) is improved. In this way the focus of study at Balance Ball Yoga - Posture Improvement Course is developing an anatomical approach to realignment of the body, rather than just workout exercise. You will also learn how to find and manipulate trigger points, which are often the cause of incorrect posture. Students develop an understanding of palpation methods and trigger points to realise potential and improve posture.
