Exploring the Bridge of the Spine

This lesson guides participants through movements that explore the arches of the body while lying on the back. It involves standing the feet, rolling the pelvis, and experimenting with unique hand placements near the ears to influence the spine and shoulder girdle. The movements clarify how forces transmit from the floor through the legs and arms to the head.
