The Align Method

5 Movement Principles for a Stronger Body, Sharper Mind, and Stress-Proof Life

By: Aaron Alexander CR LMT, Kelly Starrett - foreword

Narrated by: Aaron Alexander CR LMT

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)

Great informative book! 5 stars!

I love this audible version of this book. I did buy the paper version as well but with the pdf I dont think I'll keep it! I truly enjoyed this book and listened to it in a couple days!

Must read for the high performer

What really struck me about this book is the level of care in the organization and presentation of this content.
As an Opwel (optimize wellness) coach, I was aware of a lot of this information and have been luckily putting it into self practice and in practice with clients- but to now have 1 resource that contains all of the amazing science and knowledge that this has really is an achievement. So happy to see this crucial information being put out there for the mainstream, and will definitely read this again, and share with all my clients and as many people as I can. Amazing Stuff!! 👍🏼

listen to this book

worth each minute. worth while stories and offers. read this book to be aligned both mind body spirit.

Very Informative

This book teaches you a lot of useful tools in a very approachable manner while being interesting.

Wow. Life changing.

This is the best book on movement I’ve ever read. Every chapter had nugget after nugget. Thank you so much for all the effort and research and for presenting it so simply.

Highly Recommend This Book!

I’m a huge fan of the Align podcast, so I purchased Aaron’s book and audiobook as soon as they were available. The guidance from both the podcast and book have been invaluable to me after an agonizing shoulder surgery and slow recovery period. Aarons suggestions on hanging for 90 seconds a day, plus the floor sitting and ancestral movements have dramatically improved my shoulder health and overall mobility. I really like when authors read their own books, and this is no exception! Although… I wish Aaron would have thrown in a few of his “pow” sounds here and there;)

a must read for all loved ones

This is such an amazing collection of information! eye opening and world changing, everyday i notice myself becoming a little more aligned
