This week's lesson is titled "Lengthening on the Stomach and Back." The point of this lesson is lengthening the body without actively stretching. Along the way, you will also learn to strip away all the extraneous efforts to lengthen so that you will find new, more efficient movement patterns. The class resumes on Friday, June 22nd.

This lesson is a simple but powerful tool to mobilize the spine. Not only the lesson increases the spinal rotation from the neck to the lumber spine, it gives you a sense of power and connection from the legs to the shoulders in the form of the spinal rotation.

This week's lesson will start from the hand. In the lesson, we will move the hand(s) in various ways to connect up the movement towards the trunk. The wrist, elbow, shoulder and the spine are all involved in the usage of your hand. You cannot isolate a problem into one part of the movement chain.

This week, I would like to go back to a lesson we did about 6 months ago. The lesson's title is "Making the Sternum Flexible." I would like to challenge the concept of the Sternum (shield/armor) and the ribs (cage). I think having a more fluid image of flexible and movable sternum and ribs will greatly help us soften this area and feel more youthful in posture and activities.

Through this week's lesson, we will learn to locate the hip joints in a kinesthetic sense. We will increase the mobility of the hip joints by way of lengthening one side of the body and shortening the other. We will connect the movement of the hips to the movement of the ribs and the spine.
