Would you build a house on a foundation that is crooked?
No, You wouldn’t.
Your body is that house!
– and your feet, legs, and pelvis are the foundation:
the down department.
The way how you place your feet on the ground, and how you sit has a big effect on your whole posture.
If you sit for long periods of time hunched, crunched, or crooked without proper support of your feet and pelvis, you can experience:
neck pain
lower back pain
fatigue
headaches
lack of concentration
crossed legs can cause hip problems
HOW to prevent that:
place your feet both on the ground, in hip width
find your sit bones, and sit on top of them
tilt your pelvis slightly up and forward
engage your abdomen gently
if you sit with crossed legs, change the crossing regularly
WHEN to do it?
as often as possible!
make it a new habit
It’s not about sitting still and hypercorrect all the time.
The point is to vary your sitting posture and be aware if you have been in one place that is compromising your alignment for too long, and to come back to that active balanced sitting Posture.
