Side-lying Heel Circles and Side Lengthening

This lesson explores the connection between the limbs and the torso through movements in side-lying and on the back. You will practice sliding the shoulder and heel to lengthen and shorten the side, eventually integrating these into circular movements of the heel to observe how the spine and ribs respond to movements of the periphery.
