So it’s about daily awareness and adjustment. We become what we do. Here are some of my favorite times to adjust:
Before I fall asleep: lying on my side, I purposely lift my chest and place my head in line with spine and pelvis. I may curl up a bit during the night but why start that way?
Waiting for a page to load or while I’m reading on the computer: I roll my pelvis forward and back, or side to side, or in a small circle (all things we’ve done in class) to find a centered alignment. Bones for Life® students and those in the current Senior Center class know how to use their hands for feedback.
Standing in line: I check in with how I’m standing and play with slightly bending my knees as if to jump, and coming up into a well-balanced stance, keeping my lower back long. Sometimes I slowly turn around myself to look left or right, starting from my head and eyes, or starting from my feet.
