About this listen

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:

  • Floor sitting
  • Hanging
  • Hip-hinging
  • Walking
  • Nose breathing

A truly aligned life isn't limited to sweating in a gym or stretching in a yoga studio, and Alexander provides the fundamental principles to optimize your physical and mental process in any situation. 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!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

"Aaron shares his method for how to approach every day with more strength, confidence, and capability and his heart and compassion shine through." (Kino MacGregor, Ashtanga yoga instructor and founder of Omstars)

"If you've ever wanted to feel more confident, capable, and at home in your body but didn't know where to start, this is the book for you. Aaron shows that by spending just a few minutes on restorative daily practices, you can make the most of every moment and tap into potential you never even knew you had." (Gabrielle Reece, pro volleyball player and co-founder of XPT)

"The first time I met Aaron he was shirtless and barefoot doing a one arm handstand along with some Capoeira moves at Onnit Gym in Austin, TX. Ever since, he has never failed to amaze me, not just with his movement practice, but also with his dedication to helping others reach their full potential. With this book, he becomes your personal coach, and you couldn't hope for a better one." (Jamie Wheal, executive director of The Flow Genome Project)

Helping to reclaim movement and strength

Loved this book and keep re-listening to chapters as they become more meaningful with each lesson and with my progress in implementing the method. Loved the approach and the author's narration is great - feel like he is in my corner! I've now a floor dweller and am even hanging on a Kmart doorway lift bar daily. I've been doing the method for 8 weeks, am approaching 60, and can sit cross legged on the floor!!! Could only hold my own body weight on the chin lift bar for 2 seconds twice a day when I started and after 6 weeks can do three 20 sec "hangs" a day. Amazing change in how my body feels. Can't praise the method and the book enough.

The accompanying pdf is ok for some of the postures described etc but a bit more detail on the pdf would have been good.

A must read for EVERY-BODY

Loved this ebook, the author narrated it well and the content is a game changer! Really brings awareness to how you hold yourself in each moment and how you can bit by bit create an overall better experience living in your body. Covers a good amount of ground and it was never once boring, there's something in it for everyone I feel, couldn't recommend it enough. I'm incorporating a number of things into my day to day/ moment to moment life and its made a difference even within a small period of time :)
