Spinal Integration and Flexibility

This lesson guides students through movements on the back, stomach, and hands and knees to explore the mobility of the spine. Participants lift the head and pelvis in various configurations, emphasizing how individual vertebrae move forward or backward. These sequences integrate the neck, upper back, and lower back into a coordinated whole.
