  • Getting it Right

    Namaste This is me…trying to be brief and relevant.  Part of our conversation on Saturday morning evolved around body mechanics.  My main point was that instead of being the voice outside the head saying when and what to shift to avoid resultant pain, let’s try for bodily awareness.  Sure, I have my role to play, but given…
