 Posture book November 4, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
The book is informative, yet interesting. It's not overly technical, and it applies exercises intermittently to help you understand what you're reading. I'm glad I made the purchase!

Body awareness to the max!!!!!! September 6, 2007
22 out of 24 found this review helpful
OH MY GOSH!!!! This book has answered so many questions for me. When I was growing up, my Mom always told me to stand up straight. Try as I might, I never was able to. Once I got older, I was told by doctors that I had a pelvis that tilted back (I know, too much information). What they didn't tell me was I could change the tilt!!!!! For the first time in my life, I can now stand up straight and have the proper curve in my back!!! The book has helped me with several other aspects that I wasn't aware of...how when you walk you're actually supposed to be pushing off with the toes of the foot that is in back (it makes walking easier, I was a heel walker). I'm only on Ch 4 (breathing) but I feel this book is worth it's weight in gold!!!!!
Clearly written manual for how to move in daily life July 17, 2007

Easy to understand and enjoyable to read. Certified Advanced Rolfer Mary Bond has written the manual that my Rolfing clients have been asking for. I bought 10 of them, and my clients are enjoying them very much. But you don't have to know anything about Rolfing to benefit from this book. It is written for the common person, however there is plenty of juice for bodyworkers, yoga practitioners, doctors, etc. Find gems such as how to sit correctly in those awful car seats, a whole chapter on breating, and what the "core" of the body really means. Mary Bond also has an excellent free online article called "Smart Sitting."

THE NEW RULES OF POSTURE: HOW TO SIT, STAND, AND MOVE IN THE MODERN WORLD addresses a common health problem: poor posture. New to Mary Bond's approach is a focus on postural changes combined with attitude realization: it comes from her background as a dancer and a Structural Integration practitioner who teaches movement, and it draws on over thirty years of experience to show how habit and emotional factors contribute to unhealthy posture. Both new age and general-interest public lending libraries will find the focus on health, exercise and ergonomics to be a fine coverage.
 Great reference on posture and movement June 29, 2007

This book is truly a marvel! It is very informative and pushed me to rethink the way I stand, sit, move, breath, etc. with my body.
The practical exercises are the best part. You don't just read the information -- you can then practice and do things that will help you actually understand and live the principles.
The only thing that I question is the author's view that "reverse breathing" is bad for your health. Reverse breathing when done correctly is actually very health for you -- this is the breathing cycle that Taoists and Tai Chi Chuan practitioners utilize.
