Listed by the publisher as “Side-Bending Bliss: Improve Everything with This Mobility Class”
The instructor guides an exploration of lateral movement and side-bending while lying down. Participants move the head, arms, and legs independently and together to find a comfortable side-curved position. The lesson emphasizes resting in these unusual shapes and noticing how the entire spine and ribs respond to changes in the extremities.
