Flexion and the Pattern of Folding

Listed by the publisher as “Flexors, aka folding – kinesophics”

The lesson begins with a seated exploration of folding the body forward toward the knees. Participants then move to the floor to explore flexion through lifting the head and knees, focusing on how the spine lengthens and the chest softens to facilitate the movement while avoiding unnecessary effort or the feeling of an abdominal workout.
