The lesson explores the coordination between the shoulders, pelvis, and spine through rolling movements and extensions. Students begin on their sides before moving to their stomachs to investigate how lifting an elbow or lengthening a leg affects the spine and head. The practice concludes with complex diagonal reaches while transitioning between lying on the side and front.
