Mobility for Desk Bodies
A free short course for hips, necks, and shoulders that spend nine hours folded into a chair. Ten minutes, no equipment, no incense.

Sitting isn’t poison and your posture isn’t ruined. But holding any position for nine hours a day does make you good at that position and worse at the others, and that’s a genuine problem with a boring solution.
Four short lessons, one ten-minute sequence, and no equipment. It’s free because there’s no reason it shouldn’t be.
What you'll learn
- Open hips that have been held in flexion all day, in four movements
- Undo a forward head position without cracking anything
- Get your arms overhead again without pinching at the top
- Fit the whole sequence into ten minutes you're already wasting

Free, ten minutes, no equipment, and the couch stretch actually works once she explains the pelvic tuck. Everyone at my office should do this.
- Theo A.
The point that my sore neck is fatigued rather than tight reframed years of pointless stretching. Chin nods are unglamorous and they work.
- Marta K.
Genuinely useful and refreshingly unalarmist about sitting. The three-minute version is what I actually do most days.
- Owen L.
The 90/90 rotation was almost impossible in week one and is now comfortable. Hard to believe this is free.
