Softening the Ribs
Listed by the publisher as “Softening the Ribs - Feldenkrais Project”
The lesson begins with an exploration of arm and shoulder movement while lying on the back with hands resting on the ribs. Students then transition to side-lying, using the arms and head to guide rolling movements that integrate the torso and pelvis. The practice concludes with coordinated rolling sequences that connect these discoveries into fluid transitions across the floor.
