Spine and Chest Side-Bending: Lengthening Limbs
Listed by the publisher as “Spine and Chest Side-Bending, Lengthening Limbs - Feldenkrais Project”
This lesson explores side-bending through movements of the spine, chest, and limbs. Beginning with standing weight-shifts, students move to the floor to practice shortening one side while lengthening the other, culminating in a sequence connecting the arm and ankle while rolling the pelvis.
