The lesson focuses on side-lying movements where the practitioner explores sliding the top leg and shoulder in various directions. Participants move from simple lengthening and shortening to tracing circles with the heel and shoulder. The exploration progresses to coordinated and counter-directed movements between the hip and shoulder to improve spinal and rib cage flexibility.
