Explores the practices of people living without chair-based chronic pain, and includes eight shapes essential for healing the human body that replace the chair shape. The book demonstrates how reconnecting with ourselves and freeing our bodies from the trappings of modern life can allow us to live a life free from pain.
Our bodies have the amazing ability to spontaneously self heal. However, in an age dominated by one shape--the chair shape--our natural capacity for regeneration is being suppressed. To solve this problem, scientists are studying people of traditional cultures who don't share our symptoms of lifestyle-based disease. A remarkable, yet simple truth is emerging: our ability to self heal is activated by moving and resting in active postures. If we avoid staying in one shape all day, our bodies are free to heal.

This book explores the practices of people living without chair-based chronic pain, and includes eight shapes essential for healing the human body. By reconnecting with our self healing instincts and freeing our bodies from the trappings of modern life, we too can live lives free from pain.

Ari Heart is a yoga therapist, personal trainer, and healthy lifestyle coach. He lives in Keene, New Hampshire.
