Bending and Twisting the Chest and Spine

Listed by the publisher as “On the Side, Bending and twisting the chest and spine – kinesophics”

The lesson begins by exploring side-bending while lying on the back with knees tilted to one side. Participants use their hands to gently guide the sternum and ribs, exploring how softening the chest and abdomen allows the spine to move. The practice concludes with a side-bending sequence in a kneeling position to integrate the newfound mobility.
