Scanning Directions and Diagonal Folding

Listed by the publisher as “Scanning directions; lifting shoulders, hips, and head – kinesophics”

Participants begin by visualizing their body as a simple stick figure consisting of five primary lines. The lesson involves guided explorations of lifting individual shoulders, the head, and the hips from the floor while noticing the connection to the spine. These movements progress into diagonal folding patterns that investigate the relationship between the core and the limbs.
