Spiraling from Sitting to Standing

Listed by the publisher as “podcast – kinesophics”

Participants explore transitioning from sitting on the floor to a half-kneeling position and eventually to standing. The lesson focuses on the geometry of the body, using a spiraling pelvis and a smooth arc of the head to find momentum rather than muscle strength. Movements involve pivoting the knees and replacing a hand with a foot.
