Side-Bending Variations: Tilting Ear to Shoulder

Listed by the publisher as “side-bending – kinesophics”

This lesson explores side-bending by tilting the head toward each shoulder. Participants use various physical and mental reference points, such as the chin, nose, and temples, to trace arcs in space. The practice involves sensing how these simple movements engage the whole spine while shifting between lying, sitting, and standing positions.
