Breathing and Ground Support on the Side

Listed by the publisher as “Breathing Exercise - A Feldenkrais Lesson - Master Your Breath Part 3”

This side-lying lesson explores the relationship between breathing and lifting the head. Participants practice lifting the head while timing their breath and using the floor for support, eventually holding the head up while finding internal shape through global breathing. The practice concludes with a comparison of head rotation and spinal sensations while resting on the back.
