- In my previous video I talk about how posture is a reflection of habitual movements, daily activities, lifestyle, as well as emotional state, thus, improving your posture requires you to recognize all those factors. In this video I will show you a simple exercise to reset your nervous system, which will change your posture, so you will experience the connection between your emotional state and posture.

My name is Taro Iwamoto. I'm a movement coach. I help people go from feeling overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated about not knowing their own body, what their body needs and how they should be moving, to feeling connected with their body, understanding their body and needs, and how to move in the best way possible for their own body from the inside out so that they can move with a sense of ease, comfort, and confidence! If this is you, I believe you will get lots of values from my contents.
When you start connecting with YOUR BODY and move slowly and pay attention to your body, you will start to understand YOUR BODY and optimal movement and posture for YOUR BODY from the inside out, in a way no one can understand. YOUR BODY only belongs to YOU. Only you can access your internal resources that is AWARENESS! You have innate abilities to overcome challenges and limitations of all kinds and learn and grow for a lifetime, and can walk into the exictement and pure joy and pleasure that comes from having the full ownership of your body! I'm here to help you tap into your innate abilities!

This masterclass is for people who have been stuck in pain, and want to go from suffering from chronic pain to being active and healthy again. In this masterclass I share my insights and perspective on why people get stuck in pain, and how they can move past their pain and move with confidence, comfort, and authenticity.
Dear Taro, Iave gained so much benefit from your videos I signed up for your webinar and unfortunately there are no times available for a strategy meeting, what do you recommend
I felt a great difference not only in my body but also my mind and since the two are connected it makes a lot of sense. Thank you Taro, you prove that mindfullness really does help!
Absolutely amazing! This will be part of my routine before bed … thank you so much! ❤️
It's like a reset, I'm standing up straight with no effort and feeling so relaxed. This is remarkable thank you.
resetting the nervous system = resetting the body as they are connected :)
Nice way to see it.

Key lesson for some (many?) of us.
I feel calmer!
what happened to muscular tension and length of your spine?
Putting my hands on my ribcage made me become aware of how much I was tensing it. No wonder I found it hard to breathe normally. Now I try to relax it when I breathe!
I keep practicing this session almost every day as it is in a short time making a big difference in my posture, emotional feelings and quieten my mind.
Thank you so much Taro.😊
my pleasure!
Wow, calmer and more upright... thank you😊
Thank you 🙂
My mind is quiet, i feel calmer.
Great! noticed a change in your posture afterwords?
@TaroIwamoto Yes, Tension was released. I can feel movement.
Wow just by noticing my breathing while following you, I feel a straighter posture, more aligned, easier breathing and happier. Will be coming back to this again and again and sharing. Taro = Hero!! 🙌
posture is really not what most people think:)
I try quite a lot with different exercises to teach my shoulder blades to move. I know that it’s not only difficult for me to bring them together, but I even just feel them badly, I’m poorly aware of them. After the exercise, I was surprised to note that the back in the thoracic region became more even and a different awareness during breathing, while inhaling, the shoulder blades themselves began to fall down, and they themselves moved in relaxation, without effort. It's amazing, wonderful!
Wonderful!
Definitely more relaxed. Thank you
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for this, Taro. My back feels so good right now.
you're welcome:) Wonderful!
Amazing. Longterm goal for me.
My body felt relaxed and my mind was definitely a calmer sea, but my posture was still stiff. My shoulders were rolled forwards and my back felt stiff as well. Its a great meditation exercise and does help stress but I’m just wondering how I could go a step further and really target that region
Have you watched my previous videos yet? I shared specific movement retraining lesson. I also have many posture videos on my Posture Playlist. I highly suggest you watch my other videos on this topic:)
Thank you so much for this, Taro. I was feeling very anxious and your video popped up. I followed your instructions and when done, I was calm, centered and felt like I was more upright in my body. The work you do is AMAZING!
Body and mind are certainly connected, aren't they? There's no improvements of our body alone, or mind alone. We can only improve the whole!
Wow this really works. Many thanks 🙏🏽
Great!
@tarolwamoto - I definitely feel lighter in my back. Your videos have been unbelievably helpful!
Glad to hear it!
Began your guidance in sitting position, observing myself. After exercise; Feel more sturdy and supported in lumbar spine. Breathing more completely, had actually holding breath before to a certain extent. Also automatically lowered ribs into the mat and gently drew in navel in lying position as i began your exercise, because i typically have weakness in that area and go into sway back, which is painful on my back. I would not have been comfortable lying otherwise. I noticed more of this slightly rounded position as I returned to sitting to observe and compare. Takeaway; im slightly holding my breath almost all the time-creating more tension and pulling. Point well made and I thank you.
This is magical. I felt calm immediately. Thanks, Taro
you're welcome:)
Awesome! I noticed i had too much coffee already while doing this. Thank you😊
This was amazing. After following along with this routine I actually feel more calm and relaxed and less tense.
body and mind are together:)
definitely felt calmer and quieter in my body, i was sitting on the chair with the back rest all the time, so i didnt observe any significant change in my posture, but i felt lighter for sure :)
Tack!
thank you for your support!
Yes I felt more at ease and sort of straighter naturally - more there. very interesting. coming home to my body.
Love it!
Wow right neck pain and lower back pain, been doing daily stretching to no avail. just doing one of your other videos and this one- amazing thanks my body already feels much better. Thankyou
we are culturally trained to view our body as mechanical parts that need fixing, correction from the outside as if fixing a machine, but in reality, all our body parts are connected, body and mind are connected, and they influence each other, move together, and change together. And your body parts are YOU, there's really no fixing of a part. There's only improving YOU as a whole. And, changes happen from the inside. Changes are not done to your body from the outside. That is why it's important for us to learn how to connect with our body, and learn to sense, feel our body, movement from the inside, and learn to improve how we move, use our body in daily activities so we can bring more comfort, ease, confidence into our body. This process can only be done by YOU. That is a fundamental difference between mechanical stretching and strengthening exercises and internal movement practice (where you observe your body and movement from the inside).
Thank you very much for sharing your work. I just did this exercise and when I got to putting both hands on my body I felt a wave of relaxation right up my spine into my neck. It was wonderful.
that is wonderful!
Too good, feeling more relaxed and yes posture is straight without stress. Its a great discovery, thank you Taro for this wonderful experience.
you are welcome:)
Thank you very much Taro🙏🙏🙏
you're welcome:)
Yes, before i was tired that my back was round and i was feeling fateeg. After, my body becomes straiter and i feel lighter. I think if i spend longer time will be much beter.
Thank you Taroo.❤
Great!
Have been experiencing severe lower back pain for 6 months and nothing is helping unfortunately, even small gentle movements of the pelvis are painful. No evidence of structural issues, no major issues apart from the back pain, quite debilitating
How was this simple breath awareness lesson?
@@TaroIwamoto Taro the lesson was pleasant, but there doesn't seem to be anything to ease the pain when I move. Lying stationary is relatively painless but moving slightly the wrong way is excruciating.
Taro, thank you for sharing this simple exercise. It changed my posture after this short exercise of doing something that did not seem to relate to posture at all. It's truly amazing and wonderful.
you're welcome:) you may not be aware of direct connection between body and mind, but a simple movement lesson such as this can demonstrate such connection clearly:)
@@TaroIwamoto Will the exercise you introduce help me to change my posture in a permanent way? If so, do I do this exercise say twice a day for X period of time and my posture will improve in a permanent way?
I feel better but more aware of how my chest doesn’t move at all when breathing
Thank you so much
you are welcome:)
I am so glad that I came across your RUclips channel. I took Feldenkrais therapy classes for my posture about 10 years ago. What a difference a few mind body changes make. Thank you 😊
My pleasure!
Thanks Taro , this is much better, then the
Others . 👍🏻😊❤
I always known that I am supposed to breath from my diaphragm not chest but could never do it without concentration. During the exercise I was naturally diaphragm breathing and even now afterwards I am diaphragm breathing. I also feel more stretched out Thanks 👍😀
Nice! Breathing happens spontaneously and is influenced by many factors (movements, levels of physical activities, stress, etc), and it is regulated by the nervous system. You can regulate your nervous system, which will regulate your breathing:)
Feeling lighter
nice!
Yes, big difference. Before, even though I was emotionally normal my back was slightly round. After, my back is straight without effort.😮😊.
Thank you Taro.
it shows so much of muscular tension is regulated by the nervous system!
My posture did feel better! Great exercise.
great!
Ifeel lighter, my shoulders less rounded and calmer. I watched this on the back of watching some POV ukraine war vids -not exactly helpful in hindsight for my nervous system XD I have also become aware that my neck is now aching from tension iv been holding last few weeks.
I always breathe through my belly, i didnt notice my chest rise at all
Great that you felt lighter and calmer and less rounded shoulders afterwords:)
wow magic lol, my posture was a bit slouch before, then after this laydown technique when i sat down my posture literally reset with no effort
"with no effort" YES! Good posture should feel natural and effortless:)
I was sitting. At first I was a little slouched. I got really sleepy. How interesting. When finished I was sitting straighter though it was natural not forced. Thank you Taro. Marilyn
"sitting straighter though it was natural not forced" YES! Good posture should feel easy, effortless, not forced:)
Positive feeling...muscular...mind....breath......WOW
Great!
Will this exercise help to correct neck hump?
Yes this movement lesson can help with that. More important thing to know is that correcting any conditions including neck hump requires one to understand their habitual movement patterns in their daily activities, lifestyle and how they are related, then one will begin to understand what it really means to correct their conditions, that is to improve their movement patterns and improve their functions.
Yes I was looking for your channel glad you posted today!
Great! I post a new video every Wednesday:)
Wow, very interesting. Surprised i was diaphragm breathing and then slowly naturally shifted to chest breathing during that part of the exercise, etc. Am sitting up straighter and very relaxed, will practice this before bedtime to see if it helps me get better sleep. Thank you Taro! Am thinking there is some similar practice that would work on the pain body?
this simple lesson can definitely down regulate sympathetic nervous system, up regulate parasympathetic nervous sytem (= calm and relaxed and grounded), and can help you sleep better at night. Body-brain-mind are all connected. Pain is a function of our body system, and there's no difference in improving posture, movement, and pain. Refining quality of movement, breathing, posture will reorganize the brain/nervous system-body all together, and this process will change behaviors of the body including pain.
@@TaroIwamoto thank you, lovely explanation! 🤗💕
Taro thx for past video on awareness of pelvic muscles and diaphragm and breath. It helped long time PFD and gen body hypervigilance. Before belly breathing was natural after yrs of practice. Not bad or wrong. Both are still a work in progress. Edit: I was calmer and quieter after breath exercise.
My pleasure:) Letting go of expectations, beliefs, and existing knowlege is easier said than done, but connecting with self, sensing own body in the moment can bring the nervous system to a more quiet system from which learning can take place more more efficiently:)

😊
@@jmc8076what video??
Top!
😃
Wonderful, thank you !
my pleasure!
Thank you great stuff
my pleasure!
Please make a video on how to fix posterior pelvic tilt. Thanks
i have a few videos on posterior pelvic tilt. you can search for "posterior pelvic tilt Taro Iwamoto":)
@@TaroIwamoto Great, thank you!
@@2am561 my pleasure
Feeling of Peace
great!
Do you do some exercise like this every day? If so when is the best time?
yes! you can do this any time of your day, but morning and evening are good times to practice.
Is 5 - 10 min enough?
@@djVania08 taking actions is a first step, and practicing consistently is a next step. To make that happen, make it as simple and easy as possible, so even 5 minutes practice daily in the morning and evening would be wonderful!
@@TaroIwamoto Why I ask is that I do practice yoga and some other things. I am quite disciplined but I wanna add some feldenkrais without overwhelming myself and the nervous system. That's why I ask. So the question goes more of a direction 'how to include this to other practices'
And thanks for you advice and time. I appreciate it
