Reaching with the Arms and Head

Listed by the publisher as “Feldenkrais San Diego - ATM Lesson #20”

This guided practice explores the relationship between the head, torso, and reaching arms while lying on the back. Participants practice lengthening each arm to the side while varying head movements and leg pressure to observe how these connections change the ease and range of reaching.
