Lengthening and Turning Arms by the Fingers

Listed by the publisher as “Lengthening and turning arms by the fingers – kinesophics”

This lesson explores the connections between the hands and the spine by lengthening and rotating the arms in coordination with movements of the feet and pelvis. Participants focus on specific fingers—from the thumb to the pinky—to discover how each creates a different line of force through the skeleton and torso while lying on their back.
