Every body’s guide to everyday alignment

We make hundreds of movement choices all day long, whether we know it or not: Sit or stand? Hip to the right or to the left? Heels or flats? So how can we make the choices that leave us feeling and moving our best? It starts with alignment – how our body is positioned throughout the day, whether working, exercising, or resting.

Professionals, experienced exercisers and new-to-movement newbies alike will discover the big and little ways our body parts move. Rethink Your Position explains how to check the way different areas are moving now, includes precision exercises to get important parts moving better, and shows how making small changes can increase your physical activity all day long—not only at the gym, but at the office, in the kitchen, on a walk with friends….even while you’re sleeping.

Biomechanist, movement teacher, and bestselling author Katy Bowman provides simple and funny instructions that will have you rethinking your position everywhere!
