Head Gliding and Spine Lengthening

Listed by the publisher as “http://media.blubrry.com/kinesophics/kinesophics.ca/directaudio/PeckingRepaired.mp3”

This lesson explores the movement of the skull atop the spine through a series of forward-sliding head movements. Participants practice these subtle 'pecking' motions first while sitting, then while lying on the stomach with varied arm positions, and finally while walking. The sequence focuses on the coordination between the head, neck, and the entire length of the spine.
