Rethink Your Position | Katy Bowman

From the moment we lift our heads off the pillow and put our feet on the floor… our days are filled with movement. In fact we make hundreds of movement decisions every single day. For the most part we don’t think of our movements as ‘choices’... but in fact whether they are conscious or unconscious – we’re the boss of how our bodies move and the consequences of those choices.
