An Introduction to Easy Sitting
If you add up the number of hours you spend sitting, the total might surprise you. Many people sit for one reason or another (during meals, travel, work, recreation, and rest) for 12-14 hours a day!
The problem is, sitting for extended periods of time is neither natural nor easy for our body. As far as our skeleton and muscles are concerned, sitting is a real challenge; one that impacts our current and future health and comfort.
If you don’t know how to sit with sufficient skeletal support, you are probably on track to experience pain and muscular tension in your back, neck, and shoulders. Fortunately, it's never too late to learn how to sit in a better organized, and more flexible way. In this program, David Zemach-Bersin presents gentle Feldenkrais lessons to reduce the stress of sitting on your skeletal system and musculature and give you better options.
You will learn:
- Exercises and perspectives to help you survive sitting
- How to protect the curves of your spine (they're essential to your postural health)
- How to use your sit bones to support your body, upright, in a comfortable way
- Which chairs help -or hinder- healthy sitting
- How to maintain flexibility and freedom of movement while sitting
- How your breathing can support healthy sitting
- Quick, helpful exercises to use while taking breaks, and to help you heal from too much sitting
