Stack Your Bones: 100 Simple Lessons for Realigning Your Body and Moving With Ease
Bodywork meets mindfulness in Stack Your Bones, comprised of 100 secular “sutras” to raise your awareness of your physical body. Longtime clinician and innovative bodywork teacher Ruthie Fraser guides readers through simple exercises and visualizations to help fine-tune the body for balance, comfort, and injury-free movement. Each of her 100 foundational teachings is presented with an appealingly minimal but highly evocative illustration and a carefully articulated exercise.
Grounded in the Structural Integration techniques as taught by Dr. Ida Rolf (1896–1979), Stack Your Bones is highly accessible to beginners and complementary to every sort of physical activity. Yoga students, dancers, and actors will reap the benefits of heightened body consciousness, while athletes from occasional runners to ultraendurance competitors can strengthen core muscles with Fraser’s method.
