Puff out those chest feathers for greater confidence!

Did you know that our posture can have an affect on our confidence levels? 

Ancient yogis were great scientists. Through careful observation of nature, they realised that different postures (asana) affected the mind, and have known for centuries that certain chest opening postures help to improve confidence levels. 

Modern science is now confirming this with a recent study inviting participants to attend a session where they were asked to think and write down their best and worst qualities. The participants were split into one of two conditions: the first sitting erect in a chair with chest puffed out (indicating a confident pose) and the other asked to curve their back in a slouched pose (our typical ‘office posture’). The results showed that those in the confident pose reported more positive thoughts than the those slouching.

Don't take our word for it. Become your own scientist and observe how your posture affects your mood.
