Lengthening Heels and Arms

The lesson begins by evaluating sensations of length while standing and lying down. Students explore subtle movements of the heels and arms, primarily while lying on their side with their legs in a scissored position. The practice integrates specific breathing patterns and head movements to find an organic connection between the extremities and the torso.
