Synopsis

Use posture and body alignment to build strength, achieve peak performance, reduce pain, and find a new sense of confidence with celebrity manual therapist and movement coach Aaron Alexander.
Good posture is about more than standing up straight: It can change your mood, alleviate pain, rid your body of stressful tension, and may be the difference between getting that raise you've wanted and attracting your ideal mate, or not. But in order to reap all those benefits, the body must be properly integrated. Celebrity movement coach and manual therapist Aaron Alexander offers a revolutionary approach to body alignment to build strength, reduce pain, and put you on a direct path to peak performance that is both fun and accessible.

The Align Method centers on five daily optimizations that can be easily integrated into any workout, mindfulness practice, or daily life activity:

Blending Eastern philosophy with Western mechanics, The Align Method brilliantly outlines the necessary tools to leverage the power of your own senses and body language to feel more flexible and confident, and details exactly how to reshape your environment for enhanced creativity and longevity. This is the quintessential user's manual to feeling better than you ever thought possible, and looking great while you're at it!

Goodreads review by Justin on July 23, 2020

I tend to find the author to be a bit too woo woo and fixated on the same things. In fact, I gave up on his podcast. I say that to paint a picture of me as an almost fan (I did listen to the podcast for a while) but not a fanboy so you can hopefully be sure I am not just reviewing this well to prop......more

Goodreads review by Caden on March 22, 2020

An awesome read for anyone seeking to optimize/improve their movement and life. I am a huge fan of Aaron’s philosophy that there is no separation between everyday life and our health practice. Rather than thinking of optimization as cramming 45 minutes of high-intensity activity three times a week,......more
