Reducing Stress Through Breath and Spinal Rotation

Listed by the publisher as “Reduce Winter Stress - Lesson 1 of 2 Free Feldenkrais Lessons with David Zemach-Bersin”

The instructor guides students through slow movements while lying on the back to investigate the relationship between the breath, tongue, and spine. Students coordinate pelvic rolling and arm movements with specific tongue placements to observe changes in muscle tone and abdominal expansion. The practice emphasizes reducing effort in the neck and chest to facilitate ease of motion.
