Sitting in a chair is harder on the spine than standing or walking because there is more pressure on the disks of the spine. For many people sitting can exacerbate back and neck problems. Since we live in a culture of chairs and often are focused on a screen or keyboard, it is very important to find ways to sit that are supportive and comfortable.
In this 6-week series Uwe will teach a series of Awareness Through Movement® lessons that are designed to improve your sitting posture. You will learn to avoid muscular discomfort with a better skeletal organization. The improvements will allow you to sit for longer periods of time without pain and with less effort.
Since different people have different lengths, I will ask you to bring a simple chair from home with a firm and even surface (the flatter the surface the better). The height of the chair should allow your hips to be slightly higher than your knees.
You do not need prior Feldenkrais® experience to enjoy this 6-week series. Please wear comfortable clothes. For more information about Feldenkrais® and Uwe Mester (incl. testimonials) , please visit www.vermontfeldenkrais.com
