Description
This course is to help you understand your own posture and alignment and to give you some tools and techniques to avoid pain and tension while working at the computer.
Since COVID-19 I have been at the computer way more than I have in my whole life and I am grateful for the tools I have gathered from my work as a Posture and Alignment teacher, a dancer and a Pilates teacher. This course is to share some of the simplest and most effective techniques to avoid pain and tension from working at the computer too much.
Topics include:
The Importance of Alignment and Posture-exploring gravity, anatomy and psychology ideas with simple tools for self awareness
Setting up your Workspace-Five Step Process for creating an aligned workspace
Timing is Everything-Tools and techniques for releasing tension as you work
End of Day Re-Set- one simple exercise to re-set symmetry, breath patterns and listen to your whole body.
This course is not about fixing or judging things. It is about working with what you've got and with who you are to create a harmonious relationship with your body this is in alignment with the work you need to accomplish at the computer.
Who this course is for:
- This course is for people who didn't expect to be working at the computer to avoid physical discomfort and pain.

Upward Spiral is not about formulas and fixing. It is about teaching you how to listen to your own unique self and situation. We teach you how to ask the right questions and how to create solutions to help yourself.
Founder Julia Aplin says, “I see how many of us have displaced, belittled and denied our bodies. I’ve distilled years of experience to help bring you back to your own sense of well-being. It is your birthright to feel physical joy in every motion. Through movement, meditation and healing, I help people to feel connected to and appreciate their natural being.
Upward Spiral is a unique hybrid of information and experience gathered from my life long love of human movement. I have danced since childhood, loving the sense of moving my body as an expression of life.
My work integrates aspects of dance, nature, anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, evolution, psychology, planetary orbits, meditation, Pilates and the Mitzvah Technique. “
