Listed by the publisher as “Classical twist on the side with an advanced opening – kinesophics”
The lesson begins by lying on the side and exploring rotations of the upper trunk, shoulder, and head while coordinating with the breath. Participants move through side-lying twists and head-lifting sequences to clarify the movement of the upper ribs and spine. The practice emphasizes the relationship between the shoulder girdle and neck through gentle, alternating movements.
