Healthy Posture DVD
Heal Your Posture: A 7-Week Workshop is my response to requests for a visual aid from readers of The New Rules of Posture. But, instead of simply shooting video of the exercises in the book, I decided to create a virtual workshop.
(This excerpt from “Heal Your Posture: A 7-Week Workshop” with Mary Bond,
demonstrates how lightening your grip on things can improve your posture.)
The workshop contains individualized lessons that step you through this revolutionary approach to improving your posture. While the DVD follows the same principles as my book, it also contains added information and new exercises.By following along with the students in the film, you’ll learn to:
- reduce or eliminate back, neck, jaw and shoulder pain
- improve problem feet
- change poor breathing habits
- strengthen your core
- boost your body awareness
- improve your performance of Pilates, yoga, dance or sports
(This excerpt from “Heal Your Posture: A 7-Week Workshop,”
Mary Bond works with a student to reduce his back pain while cycling.)
Here’s what leading experts have to say about the program:
“The New Rules of Posture represents a virtual workshop of daily human movement brought into focus through simple habit re-patterning exercises. With the addition of the new DVD, the two together become a real-time private workshop experience with Mary Bond – a dream for me and a true gift for everyone in pursuit of clarity in mastering movement ease in a better body.”

“How we use out bodies in daily life—how we sit, stand, walk move, bend and carry out domestic, leisure and work-related tasks—has profound implications in terms of comfort, energy and avoidance of mechanical stress. Teaching is an art, and Mary Bond displays great skill, knowledge and art as she gracefully leads us through a process of learning new ways of functioning. This highly informative video is a wonderful resource.”

“In Mary Bond’s smart new DVD, essential lessons of good self-use—immediately practical in daily home, office and recreational life—are taught via regular people, so we share in their questions as well as their discoveries.”

Hello Mary,
My husband and I are so thankful we decided to view Film: Heal Your Posture–A 7 – Week Workshop.
You were wonderful with your subjects as you demonstrated. We definitely need to create new sense memories and have sent away for the Film.
Would we be able to email you from time to time to help in questions we were likely will have?
Looking forward to be more upright in posture and less body pain.
My husband is 73 and I am 70 years young.
Sincerely,
Sigrid & Larry Marshall
Dear Sigrid and Larry,
I’m very happy to know you enjoyed “Heal Your Posture”.
One of the reasons for creating this video workshop was to help address the questions that readers of my book, or people who came to my workshops were asking. Since it became difficult to respond to everyone, I hoped the video might help. I’m planning to launch an online class (or webinar) sometime this year, which will likely contain exercises from the DVD, and also give attendees a chance to interact with me in real-time. Please sign up for my newsletter, and I’ll be sure to keep you posted as soon as that offering is launched.
All my best,
Mary
I just received the shrink wrapped packaging from Amazon that should have included your DVD, but it did not. Amazon can only deal with this by refunding my money and having me return the empty DVD container. Since I would still like to get your DVD, but don’t feel good about having to wait until the refund comes through, Amazon has received the return and then re-ordering it through Amazon (and facing the possibility of this happening again), I wonder if there is some other way you can arrange to handle this error on the part of whoever puts the DVDs into their cases prior to shrink wrapping??? Regards, Noel
Noel, I regret you’ve had this problem, probably attributable to assembly line error at the DVD production company. I’ve been out of the country and failed to pick up your message until today. If you have not yet received your Amazon refund, please email me at the address on my contacts page.
Hallo Mary, I would like to know if the DVD is with subtitles
Thak you
Dario (Italy)
No subtitles yet, sorry Dario!
Just been to Marys Eyes in your Spine Workshop and found Marys teaching style to be wonderful.
Thanks Mary and look forward to seeing you later in the year.
Is it possible to purchase your DVD in the UK – it is not showing up on the Amazon site in the UK? I have been using your book for several years and would love to see the DVD.

Hi Zoe, You can purchase the DVD through Amazon.com (the US store). They ship to UK. Thanks for being a fan of the book!
Hi Mary your book has been of tremendous help – thank you. I thought the constant muscular pain I lived with was part of getting older! My question also relates to the new dvd. Will the one ordered from Amazon US be compatible for DVD players in the UK? Once again thank you. You have made such a difference in my life.
Tushar, I’m so very glad my book has been helpful to you, and yes! the DVD is compatible with UK players.
My best, Mary
Hello! It looks like this DVD is not available at Amazon. Can I buy it somewhere else? Will Amazon stock it again?
Hi Paula, The DVD should be available this weekend or early next week. I was late with my re-stocking shipment–can you believe it? At this time of year! Thanks for writing. Mary
For someone new to your work, which do you recommend as their first purchase — book, or dvd?
Hi Valerie, The book is more comprehensive, but if you are a visual learner, the DVD would give you a boost in reading the book. Thanks for the question. Best, Mary
Thank you! I *am* a visual learner — and also, it occurs to me, my husband will be seeing it as I watch. Perhaps he will become interested too, which would be fantastic since he believes his lower back pain is just part of aging. I doubt that he’d look at the book without first becoming a convert.
Thank you too for your informative postings and video clips. I’ve found them most helpful, especially the one about hips. Your efforts are much appreciated!
Good one
Heal Your Posture: A 7 week workshop has helped me so much!! I just received it two weeks ago and am very excited about the wealth of activities and new awareness it provides. As a bodyworker informed by structural integration, I use Mary’s activities to help my clients strengthen their understanding of their body, rediscover their underlying strength, power, and balance, and to help them maintain the work we’ve done. I’ve had the honor of being Rolfed by Mary, and each time I see her she sends me home with another activity to do that demonstrates a more balanced, centered, and conscious way of moving and being. Many of these activities are in the DVD, and can truly revolutionize our somatic experience of ourselves. Cannot recommend it enough. Mary’s teaching style demonstrates her curiosity, respect, and reverie for movement. The DVD is easily understood by lay people, but complex enough to inform advanced practitioners. The DVD is well matched with The New Rules of Posture, as I bounce back and forth between the two. Thanks again Mary!
There’s definately a great deal to learn about this issue.
I really like all of the points you’ve made.
