Global side bending

 

Learn how to shift your weight by using each vertebrae to bend. This increases your spine’s ability to carry the head and neck and helps you feel movement in the ribs, a place where we all hold and brace well below the threshold of consciousness.

The constraints in this lesson create a clear invitation to the ribs in ways that might surprise you. Once the ribs are free, feel how the easy swing of your trunk informs your walking.
