In this lesson, participants explore side-bending and spinal rotation while sitting, either with legs crossed or extended. The sequence focuses on differentiating the movements of the head, shoulders, and elbows to improve upper back and chest mobility. Specific variations involve placing hands on the neck or lower back to reach new ranges of motion.
