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

This lesson focuses on lifting the head, arms, and legs while lying face down to explore the engagement of the back and torso. Participants use mental imagery of being gently lengthened by an assistant to reduce effort and tension, eventually coordinating movements across diagonals and on the same side to find a more efficient shift of weight.
