Worth it for the top tip!

You need to get this course purely for the one tip alone on halving chances of getting back pain. The floor posture explanations are great, even though you may sit in them naturally having the detail gives you confidence to continue doing them even if you're inflexible. Also great that Bart is still working on his floor posture journey, again makes you feel you can do it too.

Working from the Floor has given me the confidence to get the most out of my Limber desk

Bart is a natural teacher. I never knew how many floor postures were possible! I feel that I can now get the most of the Limber mini desk and stool I bought a year ago. I now have the confidence to keep the desk on the floor, whereas it has mainly been serving me as a standing desk.
