You probably sit too much.

We all do. I’m sitting to write this, and the chances are I will sit for the majority of my day, even though I apparently cover 7000 steps on average.

So you might as well do it with awareness.

As you sit, draw you focus to two areas, your ischium (sitting bones) and the base of your throat /top of your chest.

Find the sit bones and balance your wait over them. Start by leaning all the way forward and feel that. Then lean back and feel that. Now find the mid point. This should be a neutral pelvic position.

Now put your fingers gently on the base of your throat. Allow it to open up, and allow it to float towards the ceiling. This should naturally bring your head and neck, as well as your thoracic spine into a better alignment.

Finally, shift between the two areas and breathe gently.

This awareness, this sense of centering, should help unwind tension during sitting.

Now move.
