The body posture and alignment thing that is on the Monette website is about the only concept of "Dave Monette's" that I agree with. I don't think that Dave has come up with anything revolutionary here, but I do think that his approach is a little different.

Once after reading about the body alignment and posture concepts on the Monette website, I started employing those in my own practice routing and yes, it certainly did improve a lot of aspects of my playing, however, let it be said that you most certainly don't have to be playing a Monette trumpet to take advantage of those concepts.
