When you sit better, everything feels better!
Many of us spend half the day—or more—sitting. It is an activity that is more demanding on our body than we might think. It places significant stress on our skeletal and muscular systems, our joints, our breathing, our digestion, our vision, and even our mood.
To make matters worse, when we're focused on screens we tend to hold ourselves in rigid, static positions for hours at a time. It's little surprise, then, that so many people are suffering from chronic tension and pain in the back, neck, shoulders, and hips—problems directly related to the way they sit.
Fortunately, your body already has a built-in support system you can activate and use. Easy Sitting is the fifth workshop in the Essential Action Toolkit. It features three Feldenkrais lessons specifically designed to help you develop safer sitting habits and avoid the muscular strain that often results from sitting. With the gentle, confident guidance of Feldenkrais Trainer David Zemach-Bersin, you'll discover ways to sit that can actually protect your back, neck, shoulders, spine, and hip joints.

Put Yourself on a Healing Path with David Zemach-Bersin
David’s many years of experience helping people to feel and function better, make his Feldenkrais lessons reliable, highly effective, and remarkably suited to use at home.
“We can get used to pain and restrictions in our movement, and forget what it’s like to feel comfortable and move freely. These lessons will help you to remember! When your essential actions are easier, more efficient, flexible, and free of pain, everything you do will feel freer, lighter, simpler, and less stressful.”

Who are Feldenkrais lessons for?
They are for everyone. No previous experience is required. Feldenkrais lessons are flexible and used by people of all ages and abilities, for a wide range of reasons. If you have a brain and a body, Feldenkrais lessons are meant for you.
Why are they called lessons?
They're called ‘lessons’ instead of ‘exercises’ because your brain engages in a natural kind of learning when you do them. They use gentle movement and relaxed attention to stimulate new and better options for your physical comfort, movement, and more.
Why does this approach work?
Your brain is on the lookout for information that can help you, and Feldenkrais lessons give your brain what it's looking for: sensory information, time to notice differences, and a chance to build new neural pathways for greater comfort and mobility.
