Posture & Movement, Reimagined
Most of us were taught to "sit up straight", tighten our core, or correct posture through effort. But posture isn't a position you hold. It's the result of how your whole self organizes to move, breathe and support you. Pauseture helps your nervous system discover more balanced, coordinated patterns of movement. Over time, this can reduce habitual muscle imbalances so standing and moving feel more graceful.
Why “Fixing” Your Posture Doesn’t Work
Rigid cues like “pull your shoulders back” or “engage your core” treat posture as something to force. But true posture is a result of your entire nervous system being organized to support you — with ease.
Is this good for hunchback posture or kyphosis?
Yes. But not by forcing alignment. These lessons help unwind the patterns that led to your current posture — whether from sitting, stress, or old injuries — and invite new, effortless support.
What to Expect

You may feel lighter, taller, more stable
Not because you’re holding yourself up, but because your skeleton is doing the work. You’ll learn to “rise” into uprightness rather than “pull” yourself there.
How It Works
Lessons often start lying down, then transfer to sitting or standing
Focused on spinal flexibility, breathing, pelvic tilt, and functional balance
Addresses postural fatigue patterns: tight hip flexors, collapsed ribs, and shallow breathing
Encourages flexion to discover uprightness — not to avoid itBuilt-in rest and variation train your system to adapt naturally

Pelvic Clock
By Allison Linamen
Lie comfortably on a padded surface. Imagine a clock face beneath your pelvis. Gently explore tilting toward 12 and 6 o’clock, then 3 and 9. Over time, let your movements circle the entire clock face, noticing the changing sensations with each direction.
Finding Your Sit
By M’Lissa Hayes
Sit on a firm chair with your feet flat on the floor. Gently bring awareness to your sit bones and how they support you. Explore small shifts to find balance and ease in upright sitting.
Our growing library of hundreds of lessons gives you the chance to explore something new each day
The brain rewires through novelty, rest, and repetition with variation — and it often learns best through mistakes. You never need to do a lesson perfectly. In fact, it’s the imperfection that helps interrupt old movement habits and create new patterns of ease and control.
Lessons in Pauseture are designed to support this process, with built-in rests, gentle repetition, and space to explore. You’re always welcome to pause or rest at any time during a lesson.
