Softening the Back for Smooth Rolling

Listed by the publisher as “4b+Soften+back+to+prep+for+rolling,+part+2,+29+min”

The lesson begins by exploring arm rotation and shoulder movement while lying on the back. Participants then practice variations of holding the legs to investigate rounding the spine and folding the chest. These explorations culminate in shifting weight between lying and sitting, using the legs and a rounded back to find a smooth, rolling transition.
