Up from the Ground through Your Skeleton

Listed by the publisher as “Awareness Through Movement: Up from the ground through your skeleton”

The instructor guides an exploration of skeletal connections from the feet to the head. Beginning on the back, students push through the heels and slide their hands along their arms to find efficient pathways for rolling and coming up to sit. The focus remains on noticing how movement travels through the body with ease.
