“This is an absolute delight to read and even more to practice. A true masterpiece from someone who teaches us how to play with our posture from an embodiment perspective. Every page is an invitation to increase our loving attention toward the way we move in everyday life. Looking around me, as well as inside, it is hard to see anybody who would not profit tremendously from that investment.”
