Superhero Pose

In her book, Presence: Bringing your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges, Amy Cuddy writes about the multiple experiments that have been conducted which demonstrate that, “By adopting expansive, open postures…we feel more powerful, confident, assertive, less stressed and anxious, and happier and more optimistic.”

One such expansive posture, or power pose, that she mentions is the “Superhero” pose. In this pose you stand up straight with your chest out and hands on your hips . Have the kids you work with try this power pose to see if it works for them too.
