We can even consider our posture from our chin's point of view - Leading from the chin, perhaps
Ideally our chin is angled gently down. By the way, I remember my nonno used to tilt his chin up and down to look through the different lenses of his bifocals.
However, it is not just collapsing the head down. We must place our head in the correct place - stacked up above our body. The back of our neck must be elongated. When we do this we are quietly switching on the core muscles of our neck.
So for homework we will be practising "chin glides". This means gently move your chin backwards. Go ahead make a double chin.
- Standing with your back against the wall
- Start by lengthening the back of your neck - and keep it long.
- Retract your chin horizontally. Relax
- Repeat.
You don't necessarily need to stand at the wall. The car is ideal. Every time you sit in a car seat, gently glide your chin so your head touches the headrest or at least, moves towards the headrest.
Here is a link to a YouTube regarding the chin glide from Bob and Brad. It is a 5 minute video. They call it a chin tuck...
and while you are at it
This is excellent, too and it is a bit more recent
