The benefits of good posture are well-documented both in studies about our biomechanics, and are noticeable in the dynamics of a room. The people we notice with great posture also hold:

•  A deeper sense of confidence and own their height

•  Greater energy.  Poor posture is not energy efficient, and requires lots of extra muscles to fire

•  Deeper breathing.  When your shoulders round forward, the lungs simply don't have the room to expand to their full capacity.
