SWITCHING TO POSE IN LESS THEN PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES
There are lots of people coming to our forum and asking what to do when they don't have a luxury of stopping running completely, and taking some time off, for example some army guys, who cannot just stop running, because they have to do it 3 times a week with their battalion, or some high-schoolers, who train with their school team. So what would be my advice for people who want to start learning pose, and want to get on the right track, but can't stop running? How and where to start and how to go on? Well, it is...

MY REVIEW: TEACHING RUNNING
Just came back from my last, one-week, trip to New York with some fresh impressions from my clinic in La Palestra, a private club, located just across the street from Central Park.

RUNNING TECHNIQUE FOR EVERYONE™: sprinters, marathoners and everyone in between
Conventional, everyday experience plays an interesting game with our mind when it comes to our knowledge about running. We are so accustomed to our vision of “obvious“ differences in technique between sprinters and marathoners that we do not bother ourselves to get any other opinion on this matter. It seems that everything, from your personal experience to pictures from ancient Greek vases and modern art, photographs in magazines, and books, images in movies and TV tells us the same thing again and again - that there are elite runners and everyday joggers, sprinters and marathoners, etc. So our motto:...

RUNNING TECHNIQUE FOR EVERYONE™: from overweight to average.
Common vision of running as a difficult and almost impossible physical exercise for overweight people, which could crush their bones, joints, ligaments and tendons, is unfortunately confirmed by reality. In spite of obvious benefits running could bring to their cardio-respiratory system and consequently for their overall health, the possible injury side of this exercise scares away people with overweight condition. Is there no hope? Are these people condemned from running once and forever? The answer is no, there is hope and this hope is the Pose Running technique. One of the most asked questions I am faced with at my...
