It is possible to be in your body and move in ways that are easy, fluid and balanced. When the body is aligned the way nature intended, you are balanced and coordination is easy. Sometimes this natural alignment is lost because of the stresses of modern day life. Sometimes it is lost because of imitation ... imitating parents, celebrities or "cool" peers. Poor posture then becomes a habit, often leading to discomfort, fatigue and pain. Habits take time to change, but the good news is that they can be changed. And then it is you who are in control of your own body. That is body freedom.
We spend a lot of time looking for comfortable furniture and there are companies that are constantly developing the latest ergonomic designs. However, it is actually possible to learn how to depend on your own physical structure for support and comfort instead of the furniture. Then you are not at the mercy of office chairs in the conference room, the chairs at the restaurant, or the couch at your mother-in-law's. Wouldn't it be nice to depend on yourself for your own comfort?
