In this 47-minute lesson, we study a movement done many times a day in everyday life - going from sitting in a chair to standing, and vice-versa. By clarifying the biomechanics and skeletal anatomy of the movement, we learn how to come up from sitting in a balanced and easy way. This lesson requires a chair, preferably one that is flat or at least does not incline backward. You'll need to be able to sit toward the edge of the chair. If your knees are higher than or equal in level to your hips, put a cushion or two on the chair to get your hips higher than your knees.
