Connecting Shoulders and Hips through Side-Lying Rolls

Listed by the publisher as “Connecting Shoulders and Hips Part 1 - Feldenkrais Project”

This lesson explores the dynamic relationships between the shoulders and hips through rolling and sliding movements on the side. Students investigate how the torso shifts and warps to support reaching with the arms and legs. The practice concludes with large, circular arm sweeps that integrate the entire spine and pelvis.
