The Importance Of Good Posture From slumped shoulders to a pouchy tummy, bad posture has a lot to answer for, let the Alexander Technique help you to move with ease and grace
H
ow often have you noticed someone else’s poor posture? Even worse, spotting a woman walking in the street in high heels with slumped shoulders, head pulled forward, forging along. Posture speaks volumes.
The Alexander Technique is a scientific practice geared towards curing back pain Did you know, if you always slouch you’re more likely to get rounded shoulders as you age? This body posture can be dangerous. Have you noticed some elderly people who are

bent over as they walk? That’s due to the poor posture they developed when they were younger, which they’d neglected to address. Correct posture will project a positive image of you. Imagine going for a job interview. You enter the room with an upright and poised posture, the chances are you’re more likely to get the job over another candidate that presented themselves with a collapsed posture. “I most realise my posture is terrible when I’m sitting at my laptop, I often pull myself up. But I still find myself collapsing a little while after.” -Renee Beason

Try the Alexander Technique at home...
• Your clothes look better on you with an upright posture. You look and feel more confident. This is a recipe for success. Not just for women, but, for men too.
Before
After
With our busy lives often stuck behind laptops and computers we are all sometimes guilty of slumping and bad posture. The Alexander Technique can help you to overcome this. Your body will re-educate itself to become aligned, poised and balanced. You will naturally remain upright and be free of neck, back and shoulder pain. The Alexander Technique is also the foundation principle to walking successfully in high heels. Sit elegantly at your computer. Walk tall in life. Cure your pain.
Give your back some love this Valentine’s
Lie on the floor with a small stack of books underneath your head. Lengthen and align the back of your neck with your spine. Raise your knees to the ceiling. Place your palms on your pelvic bone. Rest your elbows on the floor.
Develop a sense of the ground coming up underneath you. Release your back into the floor. Breath and let go as you exhale. Repeat for 5 minutes.

makeup looking fine. It’s time to slip your dainty feet into those sexy, slinky stilettos. Orgasmic! You strike a pose and parade up and down the bedroom. “Wait a minute. These shoes don’t feel the same as they did in the shop. I can hardly balance.’’ Terror steps in. Be gentle with yourself. You’re not a clumsy baby elephant. Your high heels could be the problem. Try the Rocking Test P.1
Buying the right high heel shoes is imperative. Wearing badly made shoes that rock, or do not have secure heels, can lead to injuries. The price of the shoes does not determine their stability. The knock-on effects of wearing unstable shoes can lead to feet, ankle, knees, lower back, even neck and shoulder pain.

Always conduct the Rocking Test Never buy high heel shoes with the heels falling underneath the shoe Always buy high heel shoes that are your correct size Never buy high heel shoes with the heels leaning to the left or right

eet Chyna Whyne, business woman, singer, author and entrepreneur currently taking the industry by storm with her innovative fusion of glamour mixed with the world renown Alexander Technique, and saving legions of women from the trauma of longterm back pain. Having recorded and internationally toured with the greats, Bob Dylan, Seal, Peter Gabriel, and Eric
Clapton, to name a few, Chyna was familiar with the pressures of looking glamourous at ALL times. Consequently, constantly wearing stilettos during performances caused chronic lower back pain, and having completed a year long world tour with Eric Clapton, she found she could no longer wear high heels. Fortunately she came across the Alexander Technique, and the rest is history...

“Even models have imperfections, but with the help of flattering lighting, make-up, clever camera angles (and Photoshop if needed!) women can easily look like they’ve stepped straight off a magazine shoot. - Lisa Burrett
Why are women flocking to capture themselves in such an intimate way?
Celebrated boudoir photographer Lisa Burrett on how she captures the true essence of a woman
E
ven the shyest of women end up stripping down to their bare minimals for their photo shoot, they often surprise themselves at how confident they feel semi or fully naked! Meet Lisa, the woman responsible for putting a smile on many a husband’s face...
Since I have fashion, sensuality and beauty in mind when I create the vision and capture the photos, they never look sleazy. Many women want something glamorous, sexy and erotic and I love this. It empowers women even more and I feel happy they are comfortable to venture into this direction. What are women using the images for?
Many are creating magazines or albums for their partner, a great company I work with for this is www.itsmymagazine.com. These make a perfect Valentine’s gift, or some are commissioned as engagement, wedding day or anniversary presents. Other women just want to capture themselves at a fabulous age or stage in their lives and keep the
photos for themselves as a memento. I think the worse use of my images was when a woman wanted to send them to her ex-boyfriend to make him jealous of what he was missing! Ha ha! On second thoughts. maybe it was the best usage actually!
“Boudoir photography can be embraced by women of any body shape or size. Let’s capture her now as she can have a lifetime memento of this age!” -Lisa Burrett Why the Walking In Stilettos collaboration?
Anything that can help increase confidence in my ladies, I’m all for. Many of us are used to a lifetime of running around in flats, so when we add stilettos and a camera, there can be some unease. Chyna’s course helps women to remain poised and elegant in an already unfamiliar environment, which makes the women more comfortable and results in sleeker images.

Go strut your stuff. Let him see your sexy walk. Toss your head back with laugher. Dangle your stilettos ingeniously from your big toe. Run your dainty fingers through your hair. If you know how to manoeuvre yourself in the right way, you will get his attention. It’s easy to set up flirtatious banter across the room. Smile. Look at him from the corner of your eyes. Stare into his eyes and use ‘open’ body language. Internet dating vs high heels? High heels win every time.

Always enter the room with confidence and poise, (even if you don’t feel it)! Smiling can be a great ice breaker, it puts your date at ease and helps you to fake it until you make it Always look directly into your date’s eyes it might feel unnatural at first, but it definitely beats looking at the ground Don’t be afraid to show off your heels. Honestly, who doesn’t like heels?!?
