This lesson focuses on the movement of the back and spine by lifting the head and legs while lying on the stomach. Participants explore asymmetrical positions to observe how the shoulder blades, ribs, and pelvis coordinate. The practice alternates between arching movements on the front and rounding the back while on the back.
