Turning on a Side Axis

Listed by the publisher as “podcast – Page 7 – kinesophics”

This standing lesson explores rotating the body around a vertical axis. Participants lift their arms toward the ceiling and practice twisting the pelvis and ribs while keeping the head and shoulders still, eventually refining the movement by standing on one leg to turn the entire opposite side of the body around the standing side's axis.
