Listed by the publisher as “Sphinx and eyes – kinesophics”

This lesson focuses on spinal extension and eye organization. Participants begin on their backs to sense their alignment before moving to their stomachs to practice lifting the head and looking around. The sequence uses a 'Sphinx' position on the elbows to explore head movements and reaching toward the horizon with the eyes.
