Leaning into the Back

Listed by the publisher as “Lean Into Your Back Side”

This lesson explores the relationship between the spine, chest bone, and pelvis. Students begin by sensing their posture while standing and then move to the floor to practice rolling the pelvis and softening the chest while seated and lying down, using the legs as leverage to mobilize the rib cage.
