Product Description
We may dream of excelling in our career, at public speaking or sport, or of looking and feeling healthier, more confident and more attractive. But sometimes we find it difficult to fulfil our dreams. To maximise our potential and health, we need to rediscover our natural poise, balance and co-ordination so that both body and mind can function at their best capacity. We all have the instinct for this perfect balance and poise, but bad postural habits brought about by the constant stresses of modern day living cause us to lose this instinct.
In this unique guide, world-renowned expert on posture and balance Noel Kingsley combines insight into how balance and poise affect you on all levels with practical help on how to improve them.
With case studies and easy-to-follow exercises, Noel leads you through the reasons why we lose our poise, the principles of perfect balance, and the way to rediscover it. From the best possible career to a more confident personal life, PERFECT POISE, PERFECT LIFE will give you the courage to try all those new things you've never quite been able to. Good postural habits also make you appear more attractive - better breathing will help your skin become clearer and your hair shinier. You can even achieve a slimmer-looking waist.
Learn how to rediscover your natural perfect balance and change every part of your own life for the better.

Transformation
Alexander Technique has helped me to walk through life more lightly!
The book is full of useful hints and tips which enable my body to feel relaxed, loose and light even when I am in a stressful situation.
I found it easy to read and easy to follow.
Perfect Poise, Perfect Life
This book came out at a perfect time in my life - Setting up a business, 2 small children, moving house and a gall stone operation had all taken its toll and my neck and shoulders had tensed up to such a degree that it was giving me a headache. I read Perfect Poise, Perfect Life and it made such sense. By releasing your muscles and letting go of tension, you breathe more easily, feel calmer and generally learn that you don't always have to be in control of life, but can quite often just "go with the flow". Things that might have bothered you in the past, just become water off a ducks back and you learn to literally "shrug your shoulders" and not worry. Enjoyable to read, with a few easy exercises too. A fantastic book for a multitude of reasons and quite literally life changing.
Perfect
This is an excellent book on several counts. If you are not already aware of the effects of your posture on both your physical and mental well-being, it will be an eye-opener. But the book's not just about posture: it's totally inspirational with lots of helpfu/practical tips on how to transform your life (and not just the standard self-help manual stuff!) And if you thought, like I did, that improving your posture was a matter of standing up tall and yanking your shoulders back, then you're in for a surprise!
