Listed by the publisher as “Turning heels and head – kinesophics”

This lesson explores the relationship between the neck and the hips through coordinated rotations. Students use their hands to roll the head on the floor and while sitting, eventually linking these neck movements with the internal and external rotation of the legs and the flexing of the ankles.
