The lesson begins with practitioners lying on their backs before transitioning to lying face-down. The movements involve sliding the knees up toward the torso and sweeping the arms in wide arcs across the floor. These sequences are later explored in the imagination while lying on the back and then while kneeling on all fours to explore movement independence.
