Sitting on your Evolution Chair is very self-explanatory. However, we have the secret to optimizing your work-day by using your Evolution Chair as an invaluable tool for connecting your mind and body.

Before you tackle an exercise, it’s important to know how to engage your core muscles as you sit. Give this exercise a try and see how aware you will be of your posture and alignment after. And don’t forget to have a little fun with it.

EXERCISE: THE HULA
Is your mind trailing off again to faraway places, beaches, grass skirts and swimsuits? Swimsuits!!! Instead of getting panicky and scanning the horizon for a big palm frond to hide behind, better to get your 'bod' bathing suit-ready! PAC it in. Squeeze those abs and move the hips side to side. The ball will move slightly under you. Resist moving quickly and imagine your waist is shrinking as you do ten to fifteen full hulas. Feel the breeze from the ocean, smell the salt and suntan lotion. Ah, so much fun to get 'lei'd' at the office.

Jane has spent fourteen years refining knowledge and skills while working with hundreds of clients and class participants. Jane is also a professional speaker and delivers two programs, 'Warrior Within' and 'One Minute Genius'.
