Bones for Life® Chairs: A 5-Day Workshop on The Movement Intelligence of Posture & Bone Strength San Francisco, CA- Do you sit in front of a computer screen focusing your attention for hours at a time in order to effectively process information, make decisions and contribute at work? Does inner tension build throughout the day as you strive for perfection in your Ruthy Alon, Senior Trainer of the Feldenkrais work and interpersonal relations? Utilizing the chair as a platform, Method® of Somatic Education and creator of Bones for Life® Ruthy Alon-founder of Bones for Life®, will be traveling from her native Israel to teach a 5-day workshop in weight bearing alignment that promotes both bone strength and posture while sitting. The program will be held at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco located at 3200 California Street October 7-11. Learn the nature of your skeletal structure and its harmonious relational quality, while reclaiming what may be foreign to your sense of striving; the pleasure of doing. The Bones for Life® Chairs program shifts sitting in chairs from being degenerative into a dynamic window of opportunity. Through a wide choice of short, practical and simple movement processes done on a chair or together with a wall, Ruthy shows that it is possible to refresh harmonious movement coordination of the entire body. The program is intended as a self-help program for all including:
People who perform repetitive movements at work, sit for long hours, or are engaged in heavy physical labor. People involved with athletic activities such as cycling, running, lifting weights, aerobics, or other sports. Healthcare and Fitness professionals seeking to expand their knowledge of complementary healing practices. People recovering from skeletal injuries People concerned about loss of bone density People who have difficulty with balance and walking People with chronic pain
Everyone, at any age, at home or at work, can easily use the BFL Chairs processes as a shortcut to upgrade personal well-being.
The Bones for Life® program provides a safe and autonomous means for building strong resilient bones through dynamic springy movement. Each movement process is a tutorial in one aspect of best practices of human posture and locomotion. Comprising a complete course in biomechanics and personal ergonomic fitness, it offers practical short cuts to well-aligned posture and harmoniously integrated coordination, as well as solutions to common musculoskeletal dysfunctions.
