An ergonomic position for the whole self. It is not a static place but an organized place from which to move hither and thither: to bend, to reach, to sit to stand, to squat to sweep (and everything in between) with efficiency and grace.

Mechanical advantage is the AT (mouthful 🙈) term to describe how to organize your body so that you are ready and able to move and change direction at a moment’s notice in a poised and relaxed way.

Directions:
I wish to allow my neck to be free.
To allow my head to go forward and up.
To allow my back to length and widen.
To allow my knees to go forward and away.
