WW posture in Yequana Tribe

Body: 

Hi

Here is a link to some WW pictures that I find interesting from a tribe in the jungles of South America. They really have accentuated WW posture but look so different than we do in the West.

It's still a big thing for me to get over having a belly having always worked to have a flat one.

Thanks for posting. Great photos and furthermore, looks like a wonderful website and book. I'm proud to say that's more or less how I raised my own babies. - Surviving

Katherine Porter's book on their posture has some great insights into how babies best develop strength through their posture, based on their parent's treatment of them.

I was just thinking about this yesterday, all my life I was told, hold that tummy in, tuck that bum in, little did I know what harm I was doing for all the years, now at 58 years old, and one year in of practicing the Whole Woman posture I can honestly say its just natural for me now, no more sucking belly in, no more pushing those shoulders back, I raise my chest and walk with an easy gate, I don`t carry much extra weight on my stomach and I suppose I`m lucky for that but the gentle curve on my relaxed belly looks normal now to me , I do carry a bit of extra on my butt and no tucking in the world would hold that in thank goodness I don`t try, !!! I`m proud of my healthy strong body even if it is a little softer and plumper than it once was, it strength allows me to live a good active life,
when I think how much better I am because of this it is truly a miracle, Thank you for posting the photos, they are wonderful, a good reminder of whats natural,

Hi, thanks for the posts and for looking at these beautiful, free photos.

This is a bit of a ramble of stuff I was thinking about, relating to photos/posture...

I find it interesting in the photos how she still looks pregnant (or what we would consider pregnant looking in the West) after a few months/weeks. How freeing that they obviously do what their body wants to do and don't feel pressure to have a flat belly quickly. I got mine back quickly but while some was genetic a lot was posture - I was applauded for that too - so silly!

Looking at her it also makes sense why nature developed nausea in pregnancy as in natural women posture (I didn't say WW posture as I don't want this reading that it makes you look pregnant) it would be hard to tell in the first trimester or beyond if someone was pregnant by looking at them. They will of course be so much more in tune with their bodies than we are (pre WW work).

I imagine it must be hard for celebrities in the magazines as the moment they relax their tummies they are on front cover somewhere with a pregnancy headline. I feel fortunate I can walk around in WW posture anonymously. I admit I do look at the photos though and wonder how many have symptoms and how they can still wear tight clothing if they did.
