Critical Alignment Lifestyle Blog
YOGA is about connecting the body, mind and heart, creating unity in our whole being. The strength of this unity depends on our weakest link, whether it is physically, mentally or emotionally
CRITICAL ALIGNMENT provides precise tools to investigate these links, and opens pathways to re-align the weakest links to the rest of our being. Re-aligning yourself creates a sense of wholeness: a true feeling of being at ease with yourself, and with the world around you

In this blog post I will explain good running posture, it’s importance and how to find out which compensation tendencies you have.
