Gentle Side-Lying Twists

Listed by the publisher as “ay – kinesophics”

In this lesson, you will lie on your side and explore rolling your head, shoulder, and knee backward toward the floor. You will then experiment with counter-rotations, moving your upper and lower body in opposite directions while sensing how the movements originate in the spine. Finally, you will coordinate these twists with extended limbs to further refine spinal mobility.
