Posture, Balance & Movement:

Straighten up! Good posture A healthy and attractive body is the result of several factors. Nutrition, cardiovascular/aerobic exercise, and resistance training are a few of the better known and employed elements that positively change the human physique. However, there is one element of physical change that is quite powerful but that often goes overlooked. That element is posture.

Posture for a Healthy Back - illustrated instruction on developing good back posture, specifically covering what good posture is, proper posture requirements, correct standing position, correct sitting position, correct driving position, the best position for sleeping and lying down and more.

Balance, Posture, and Movement Optimizing Children's Learning Capacities Through Integration of the Sensory Motor System

The John Dewey and F. Matthias Alexander Homepage contains a wealth of information about the connections between these two men.

The Posture Guide has more information about posture and the Alexander Technique.

Tai Chi for Kids / Balance Good balance is very closely related to the ability to focus the mind. When we balance we keep the eyes open to stare at a fixed spot and concentrate on a root growing from the bottom of the foot. It is not important how high you lift the leg, but the steadiness of the body. Moving slowly and concentrating on the root make a big difference.

Yoga for kids Teaching Yoga to children, I've seen how Yoga helps them develop better body awareness, self-control, flexibility and coordination. I've also seen how they can carry these skills beyond class and into their daily routines.

Exercise:

How to Develop Good Walking Form Walking is by far the most popular type of exercise. It’s also incredibly effective, especially when long-term weight loss is the primary goal.

Why Exercise Is Cool Kids exercise all the time without even thinking of it. Just being active, like when you run around outside or play kickball at school, is a kind of exercise. What else counts as exercise? Playing sports, dancing, doing push-ups, and even reaching down to touch your toes.

Kids' Exercise and Fitness Many kids today do not get enough physical activity. Set a goal to increase your child's opportunities for vigorous physical activity every day. Find inspiration and ideas to improve your child's physical fitness.
