Coordinating the Dead Bird

Listed by the publisher as “Dead Bird – kinesophics”

This lesson explores coordination and trunk rotation while side-sitting. Participants move their head, eyes, and shoulders together while focusing on the hand and wrist, then explore variations that differentiate eye and head movements from the orientation of the torso. These movements emphasize the connection between the eyes, spine, and pelvis.
