Reality Check 1:We spend most of the day sitting on sitting devices. On chairs. Benches. Sofas. In cars. On toilets! All this sitting occurs at home, on the bus, at work, at the restaurant, in the park. North Americans even bring their folding chairs to music festivals!
Susanne is an amazing instructor and attending class on a weekly basis is a great way to learn new exercises, and be reminded of alignment and key markers to performing the exercises properly and effectively.

We were able to correct our alignment with the exercises we learned in class and incorporate the exercises into our everyday lives. Being able to exercise while holding, nursing or playing with our babies is not something we even imagined was possible but it is amazing the workout that can be achieved when your body is properly aligned.
