Breathing from Head to Heels

Listed by the publisher as “Breathing from Head to Heels - Feldenkrais Project”

The lesson begins by sensing the breath and contact with the floor. Students practice expanding the abdomen while inhaling and exhaling, then progress to a seesaw movement between the chest and belly. These breathing experiments continue on the hands and knees and the stomach, exploring how torso expansion affects the spine and head.
