Coordinating the Hips and Shoulders in Side-Lying

Listed by the publisher as “Connecting Shoulders and Hips Part 2 - Feldenkrais Project”

The lesson begins by mapping the four corners of the torso while lying on the back. Students transition to side-lying, where they coordinate the movement of the top leg with sliding and circling the arm. The sequence focuses on integrating movements of the hips and shoulders through the whole length of the spine.
