A Hug for the Chest and Upper Back

Listed by the publisher as “Valentine's Day #FeldenkraisⓇ Class”

This lesson focuses on freeing the chest and upper back by exploring reaching and rolling movements. Participants start by hugging themselves and then use arm and shoulder variations while lying down to gradually soften the rib cage, integrate the head and eyes, and improve rotation through the entire spine.
