Exploring Spinal Extension from the Stomach

Listed by the publisher as “face down – kinesophics”

The lesson begins by mapping the spine while lying on the back before moving to the front. Participants explore lifting the head and arms in various configurations to observe the engagement of the back extensors and the responding weight shifts in the torso and pelvis. The sequence includes coordinating leg and head movements to distribute effort across the whole spine.
