In my home we have a custom, we don’t wear shoes inside the house. There are two reasons for this. The main reason is, of course, to keep things cleaner, specially the carpet – I love a clean and tidy home. The other reason has to do with the health of the feet – you will…

Please, (don’t) take a seat
What can you do to sit a bit less? Let’s talk about sitting in your work-place. We both know that there is too much sitting going on but what are you doing to sit a bit less? I’m bringing you a few ideas. I know it is a polite gesture to say to someone that comes…
This caught my attention…
I don’t usually write reviews or articles about children’s toys but this is something I felt compelled to write about because I believe it is an excellent way to help with the posture of children (of all ages) and having fun at the same time.

Feldenkrais isn’t a workout (or is it?)
Today I’m addressing a question and concern that many of you may have. This came from someone in the Posture Queen community, she said: I would like to know your opinion on yoga. Is it good for the body or not? For over a decade I did daily yoga but I still have lower back…
Sitting isn’t the new smoking!
Have you heard that sitting is the new smoking? As much as I agree that too much sitting is harmful to the body, sitting cannot be compared to smoking, my friends! That is because, the body is designed and needs to sit (not necessarily on a chair) but it doesn’t need cigarettes! Can you imagine if…
{video} Is crossing the legs bad for us?
Just like most of the population, it is likely that you cross your legs out of habit. In the good old days, it wasn’t ladylike to cross one’s legs. I’m not sure if this is still the case today when it comes to ‘school of etiquette’ – if you know, please leave me a comment…
