Wrong Habits That Feel Right

Personal style of movement is formed by genetic background, developmental patterns, and habits acquired continuously throughout life. Changing movement habits is not always easy because what you have been doing all along feels normal, and any change, even if it is to your advantage, feels abnormal. Unless you "evolve" into new movement habits very slowly, change sends an alarm through the body: "This is not the way you normally move, this is not your habitual posture, this is not your habitual alignment." - Eric Franklin, Dynamic Alignment Through Imagery  ¶ 7:14 PM
