Gathering the Spine and Stepping Down

Listed by the publisher as “Gathering the Spine, Stepping Down - Feldenkrais Project”

This lesson explores the length of the body by focusing on the spine's ability to bend sideways. While lying on the floor, you will gently lengthen one leg at a time and eventually roll to your side, using the support of the feet to find ease and balance in the spine and ribcage.
