Lengthening Through the Shoulders and Spine
Listed by the publisher as “AY #220: Hands Behind (first pass)”
The lesson begins by exploring how pushing from a foot can lengthen the spine and the opposite arm while the hands are interlaced overhead. Participants then explore various configurations with one or both hands tucked behind the lower back while rolling the pelvis and ribs, eventually incorporating head movements and chin lifts to mobilize the upper back and shoulders.
