Helping People
I have at long last realised what is wrong and possibly why people misunderstand me.

How Do I Fall?
A question often asked by people trying to learn how to run with Pose Method. Lots of people overdo it, misinterpret it and basically do it wrong. This of course leads to nothing much changing in the way that they run. Today I was inspired by reading the forum on Fetcheveryone. They (whoever “They” are) Read more...
