Get more out of your move, whether it's a move across the country or a move off the couch.

You ever wake up in the morning and feel like your low back is all stiff or there's a twinge in the mid back? Here's a quick tutorial on how to make it stop.

You need to move. It helps you meet your basic biological needs. And enhance your relationships. And deepen your sense of community. And grow in love. And be available for the big questions in life.

Everything that follows will not only help you restore your outdoorsy wild; it's going help you restore your indoor wild, too, if you catch my drift. ;)

It's not just today we need to be looking out for when we are choosing between the floor and a chair, when we are choosing between corrective exercises and stiffer shoe, when we are choosing between sitting on the sacrum or rolling the pelvis forward, when we are choosing between a walk and mindless time on the internet.
