Sitting Effortlessly

As Feldenkrais® practitioners, we want to improve the lives of the people we work with. We want to empower people to solve their own problems and find their own answers. In my experience, the QOR360 chair can help us in this process, and it does so in a way that is engaging, pleasurable, and fun.

Below you’ll find a series of short videos that I created using the Feldenkrais Method® so you will find your optimal posture, reduce discomfort, and learn to use yourself more intelligently.

You can include these gentle exercises into your day in the office or at home…
