COURSE: "Principles of Posture" (10 videos)

www.psychophysical.org

Hello, it’s Kevin.

Welcome to my course: Principles of Posture: A Practical Guide for Self-Experimenters

Here are all 10 videos - enjoy!


INTRODUCTION

Principles Of Posture: A Practical Guide For Self-Experimenters

  • 10 videos, 10 principles, 10 experiments

  • Short videos with movement experiments you can do in 10mins, as part of your morning routine or during the day.

  • Not just tips or a list of exercises, but a technique to change your

    mind-body relationship.

  • The purpose of this course is to help you take conscious control of your own posture - and not rely on other people, devices, or exercises.

  • You’ll learn the same method I use myself and teach all my pupils.

1-to-1 Sessions

If you bought the “Course + 1-to-1 Session” (on Gumroad.com) then email me to kevindmackay@gmail.com to arrange a time (let me know your timezone and city.)

***For best results I recommend you do lessons 1 and 2 before booking your session*** – but it’s up to you!


HOW TO USE THIS COURSE

You will need to work on yourself if you want to get results. “Never stop sculpting your own statue.” – Plotinus

In each video lesson you get 1x principle (theory) and 1x experiment (practice). Your goal is to turn the theory into practice. Watch the video, then do the experiment for that week.

Many of the principles you will learn are counter-intuitive, and contradict the typical advice you see online. So if they don’t make sense at first (or you disagree with me!) just DO THE EXPERIMENTS ANYWAY.

The experiments build on each other and get more complex over time. It’s like making a mosaic – you can only see a few pieces at a time but eventually they combine into the big picture.

Don’t worry about immediate results. This is a process. You are changing your mind-body relationship – it takes time, and some things might only make sense at the end of the course.

Remember, if you get stuck or have questions:

  • Email me to kevindmackay@gmail.com

  • DM me at Twitter.com/KevinDMackay

  • If you want personalised instructions, book a 1 to 1 lesson.


TOOLS YOU NEED

You need a few tools to do the practical work in this course. You are going to do the practical work, aren’t you?!

Don’t worry, there is nothing expensive or hard to find, just a few everyday objects used in a new way...

Physical Tools:

  • Webcam and/or phone camera

  • Flat stool or chair (with no wheels or bounce)

  • Long stick or broom handle

  • 3x sticks the exact same length (slightly longer than your thigh)

    e.g. bamboo sticks from a hardware store, or light wooden rulers

    from amazon etc

  • A place to work in. You need to be able to stand facing a wall–

    side on to the camera – with your whole body visible from head to

    toe. Ideally somewhere setup and ready to use every day.

  • Wear light coloured clothing or go shirtless

Digital tools:

  • Online video player with ‘slow motion’

  • Screenshot app, or use Mac shortcut: cmd+shi+4

  • Graphics app. So you can draw some basic lines and arrows on

    images of yourself. Free editing tools on Preview/Zoom are fine, or

    Photoshop/Affinity Design.

  • Zoom account for 1-to-1 lessons (optional)

Tools of the Mind:

  • Relational diagrams (see lessons)

  • Image and Video examples (see lessons)

  • Geometry and visuo-spatial language

  • Reasoning and structured self-speech

  • Dialogue via Q&As sessions with me
