πŸͺ‘ I recently posted a blog about Constructive Sitting and the response was so great that I made a video to accompany it. Read the original post below and see what comes up for you as you experiment with movement and sitting. 

πŸͺ‘  Sitting is Movement

πŸͺ‘ My teacher Susan Sinclair recently said something that blew my mind: β€œSitting is movement.”

                         πŸ§  πŸ’₯ 

πŸͺ‘ I often think of sitting as a static or fixed position. I can allow my coordination to organize and free itself in order to move freely to a seated position - ah!  So lovely and free!  And then I lock into sitting and forget my whole self!  Can you relate to this in any way?

πŸͺ‘ Susan reminded me that sitting is actually an activity that includes dynamic inner movement, and subtle or larger outer movements (i.e.: when at the piano or computer).  Your system is constantly balancing and coordinating itself - you are ALWAYS in movement, even in β€œpositions.”

πŸͺ‘ Try this experiment (inspired by Susan): move freely for 5 minutes. Move in any way your system craves - just move. Then come to a chair.  Sit for 5 minutes.  Can you still sense the echo of your outer movement in your body now that you are sitting?
