Bending forward? Use your hip joints.

Leland Vall Alexander Technique Tip 47

More sitting in chairs to follow up on Tip 46. For reaching, use your hip joints instead of bending at the waist. It’s more comfortable (there is no “waist joint”), and you will be able to reach farther.

For improved computer posture, avoid drawing your feet toward your back.

When sitting, avoid drawing your feet toward your back.

More than position, this tip is about avoiding the tendency to draw the body together.  When sitting at your desk, allow for ease between your lower legs and your upper legs. By allowing your feet to rest gently on the floor without pulling them toward you, you may find that your back will settle more comfortably against the back of the chair.
