These are really challenging times from a lot of different perspectives, but one perspective that people are only now beginning to look at is posture.

What happens when school is closed and your kids are now sitting on the couch

hunched over a laptop or an iPad

three, four, six hours a day.

What happens when your office is closed

and instead of sitting at what was a

questionably ergonomically shaped chair to begin with now you're also

Esther Goklay who's been on the show many years ago and has a great book about back pain and done a lot of work in terms of figuring out how to be a modern person

If you're new here, it's the Lucas Rockwood show. I'm a

yoga teacher, a trainer, a serial entrepreneur. I'm a father of three international kids, but first and
