Spinal Extension and Abdominal Length

Listed by the publisher as “Extend Yourself - Introductory Feldenkrais® lesson with Sarah Baumert”

This lesson explores the relationship between the arms, shoulder blades, and spinal rotation to clarify how the back extends. Participants work with specific arm configurations and leg tilts to sensitize the upper back and abdomen, learning to lengthen the front of the body while rotating. The movements prioritize identifying sequential movement through the ribs and vertebrae.
