Listed by the publisher as “Developing Your Connectedness with Carol Kress”

This lesson explores the flexibility and organization of the spine through slow, rhythmic movements. Participants practice rounding and arching the back while lying down, on all fours, and lying on the front. The focus is on coordinating the breath with spinal movement to develop a clearer sense of the body’s internal structure.
