Rolling to Sit: Finding Peace with Gravity

Listed by the publisher as “podcast – kinesophics”

In this seated and lying lesson, you explore rolling and balancing by holding your feet or ankles. You practice shifting weight to lift each leg, eventually rolling from your back to sitting using the momentum of your legs and rounding of your spine. The movements mimic childhood patterns of finding ease within gravity.
