		<description><![CDATA[Ageing has been dissected as if it is a disease. With the imminent growth spurt of the baby boomers it seems that whoever can unveil the most potent potion, the best exercise, diet, the one who can find “the cure” wins. Ageing is big business.
Nonetheless, I encourage all ages to consider this thing we call [...]]]></description>

Posture is not a position but a way of responding to the challenges of everyday life.
All movement grows out of your posture and what lends meaning to your movement and posture is your orientation.
You have a posture as you orient yourself to move toward or away [...]]]></description>

Moshe Feldenkrais asserted that a person can be awake but not aware. A state which he explained as being closer to sleep.

How you move reveals to the world and to you your inner state of affairs. It is a direct reflection of how you have chosen to live your life.
