Reaching, Rolling, and Ribs

Listed by the publisher as “Reaching, Rolling, and Ribs - Feldenkrais Project”

This lesson explores the relationship between reaching and rolling the torso through various horizontal configurations. Participants use arm reaches and rhythmic movements of the legs to discover how the ribs, chest, and spine can yield to facilitate effortless transitions between lying on the back and lying on the side.
