Walking Backward with Hip and Head Awareness

Listed by the publisher as “podcast – Page 9 – kinesophics”

Participants stand behind a chair for support and explore the precise moment the heel makes contact with the floor. The lesson guides students through shifting weight while walking backwards, focusing on the relationship between the hip moving down and back as the head moves up and forward to create a spring-like quality in the spine.
