Shifting Weight Comfortably

The lesson begins with a long investigation into releasing weight and using props for total physical support. Participants lie on their sides to explore the effort and weight involved in lifting parts of the legs. The practice evolves into rolling movements and coordinated shifts between the pelvis and ribs to find easier ways to move.
