This session explores the connection between the ribs, thoracic spine, and diaphragm to improve ease of movement and breathing. The guide explains the anatomy of the ribs before leading a practice of resisting and then allowing movement in the lower ribs. The focus is on making fractional changes in tension through very small, gentle breathing variations.
