hmm. so, i used to take west coast swing lessons and i think a particular thing our instructor told us to do did something weird to my hip posture

he told us to stick out out butts more than we expected and i think the way i did that put my hips at a weird angle. now when i walk too much i reliably get pain in my lower back

i *think* what he intended for us to do is stick out the *base of our spines* back? i'm experimenting with doing that + tucking my tailbone while walking and it feels less painful and more comfortable but idk how to maintain it

ah dammit i found something that felt good and natural but then i lost it and my hips started hurting. before that it felt almost as good as what i remember from my only AT session with a friend
tried lengthening my spine up + expanded awareness, did good stuff

including relaxing some tension in the back of my neck that usually pushes my head forward and down, that felt real nice. awareness of the space above me seemed particularly important for that?

Deadlift. Building up your posterior chain will greatly improve posture, functionality, back width + thickness.
