    I need help to fix my posture

    @haruchan And crawls to reinforce core control. Then it's about changing habits and including compound extension/flexion movements in your daily life. Sun Salutations, superman, reverse hypers, clean+press, snatch, leg raises, burpees, etc. etc. (Depending on your goals) (or take up a...

    Concept Wednesday - The Minimalist Routine

    Concept Wednesday - The Minimalist Routine

    @davecb I've been thinking about the Feldenkrais Method recently. It would be good along with a martial art (Tai Chi/Judo). Does anyone here have experience with these (or similar)? edit: but I'm wary of anything that takes itself too seriously from: http://judoinfo.com/feldenkrais/
