Softening the Sternum and Ribs on the Side
Listed by the publisher as “On the side, the sternum becoming flexible – kinesophics”
In this lesson, participants explore movement from their sides to increase the flexibility of the spine and chest. The practice involves lifting and turning the head to look over the shoulder while sensing how the sternum and ribs adapt. Students use their hands to gently guide the breastbone, softening the torso to find easier coordination between the back and front.
