Listed by the publisher as “face down – Page 2 – kinesophics”

The lesson begins on the back, tracing the centerline of the body before moving to the stomach. Participants explore lifting the head and eyes from a face-down position, eventually propping themselves up on their elbows. The movements focus on rotating the torso and using the eyes to scan the environment while maintaining the sphinx-like or propped-up posture.
