Free the Ribs and Breath
Listed by the publisher as “Free the ribs, free the breath!”
The lesson focuses on increasing flexibility in the rib cage and chest. Participants explore side-bending movements by sliding the head and shoulders, first on the back and then on the front. The practice combines these movements with specific breathing focuses to sense length, width, and depth in the chest and lungs.
