No matter what you're sitting on, dynamic sitting will help!
It really makes no difference whether you purchased your chair at a yard sale for ten bucks or spent a thousand dollars at a tony office furniture store. If you don't know how best to sit, the extra nine hundred ninety dollars isn't going to make you much more comfortable.
No matter what you're resting your behind on, once you learn to sit dynamically, you'll find yourself sitting more comfortably for longer periods of time. The comfort of your back, neck and shoulders will improve now and for the rest of your life.
That's what my workshop, Dynamic Sitting, is all about. Come join me next week at the Feldenkrais Institute for a three-hour workshop in which you'll learn how to sit more comfortably in any chair.
For those of you who are in for the big bucks (or who have employers nice enough to purchase a great chair for you), we'll go over some simple adjustments you can (and should) make to get the most help possible from the chair you have.
I'll identify the most "optimal" sitting dynamics and help you to experience them. You'll learn how to use simple sensory cues to find your own best sitting position. Further, you'll learn how to make small adjustments while you sit so you no longer feel "stuck" or "frozen" in your chair.
And we'll do a series of Feldenkrais exercises that will make it easier and more pleasurable to adopt and maintain your newly improved sitting position.
Don't get me wrong. There are times when slumping or sagging on a nice, soft sofa or easy chair is just fine. But if you are unable to find comfort when you choose to sit more efficiently, your poor sitting habits will catch up with you (if they haven't already) and cause you unnecessary pain and distraction.
Join me at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, September 10 at the Feldenkriais Institute of New York to learn how to make sitting more comfortable now and forever. To register click here. (Always a 5% discount for online registration. An additional $10 discount is available until midnight, September 3--$50 instead of $60.)
I hope to see you on Tuesday!
