Listed by the publisher as “http://media.blubrry.com/kinesophics/kinesophics.ca/directaudio/ay527edited22.mp3”

The instructor guides an exploration of spinal rotation and chest mobility while lying on the side. Participants slide the top hand and knee forward, then progress to lifting the top arm toward the ceiling and rolling the upper back toward the floor. The lesson focuses on softening the ribs and using breath to facilitate a deep twist.
