For Posture Journal 1, I would like each of you to make a chart. Each posture on the assigned list will get a row. The columns will be "before" and "after." The "before" column should contain your first impressions of the posture - how it felt, like/dislike, where you felt it, etc. The "after" column should contain any adjustments you have made to the posture through practicing it and paying attention to my cues. Feel free to google the postures and use any resources you find to help you find adjustments to make.

Before

· Short description of how you feel in the posture

· One muscle you feel is either very strengthened or lengthened, be specific about the actionc

After

· Short description of the experience in the posture with changes and improvement. What did you change? What insights did you gain?

· One muscle you feel is either very strengthened or lengthened, be specific about the action.
