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

This lesson explores the relationship between the hips, shoulders, and spine through seated movements. Participants slide the legs in various directions, explore spinal rounding and arching while twisted, and trace large circles in the air with their hands. The sequence focuses on coordinating the pelvis and upper body to find ease in complex trajectories.
