Mindful Spontaneity



BFL Chairs, 2008
Created and presented by Ruthy Alon in Greenfield, NH in October 2008. The Bones for Life CHAIRS® program shifts sitting in charis from being degenerative into a dynamic window of opprotunity. Through a wide choice of short, practical and simple movement processes done on a chair or against a wall, Ruthy Alon shows that it is possible to refresh harmonious movement coordination of the whole body and training in the weight-bearing alignment that promotes bone strength and posture while sitting.
