Here. My Quest for a "Just Right" Chair

Tried some sitting on my knees (calves) on Sunday; hadn't done that for a while, I should do it more often but I have few opportunities. to do so. In Japanese dojos one is not supposed to sit with the legs very wide apart, only enough for a man to be comfortable. But are there other cultures in which men sit with their legs far apart? Seiza is obviously more comfortable than kneeling ("Christian" style) on a hard surface.

Glidewalking

I should read the book on this point, but maybe the DVD would be more helpful. I don't get much out of books explaining physical movements. Personal instruction would probably be best, still.

The weekly tip:

Cultivate a new Glidewalking habit! Next time you go on a walk or stroll, try rolling your shoulders back and clasping your hands behind you. Your shoulders will easily remain open while you feel the squeeze of your gluteal muscles on the backs of your hands with each step. You might just feel a little taller and appear more elegant as well!
