Light Shoulders & Hips
This reformative audio program will take you through a learning process in which you will lighten your hips and shoulders and strengthen your back. As you progress along these short and gentle movement lessons, you will free up tightness in the hip and shoulders, opening up new directions of movement, with more flexibility and strength.
Lesson 1: Balancing on the Side
You’ll move your middle-line off to the side, to enhance balance and coordination while slowly rolling from the back to the side.
Lesson 2: Balance on the Back
In this lesson you will re-map the body & its centre line, to improve balance and coordination. You will use a lot of visualisation so make yourself comfortable when you’re lying on your back. If you feel you can’t concentrate for too long, just skip to the next lesson.
Lesson 3: Lift Hip & Lengthen Arm
Move new places in the spine, with gentle twisting movements on the back. The head becomes freer and more mobile, provided you work very gently! – focus on less ambition and more sensations.
Lesson 4: Mobility of the Head
You will lift both hip joints and feel their functional connection to the shoulders. You will learn to free the head to move on its base and the neck to lengthen and bend in relation to the shoulders.
Lesson 5: Between the Hip & Shoulder
Focus on the movement of the ribs between the hip joint and shoulder blade.
Lesson 6: Standing Leg or Hand
Develop the hip-shoulder relationship to stand both leg and hand [as for a semi-bridge position] and feel the chest between the hip joint and shoulder-blade.
If you can’t bend your wrist to stand the palm on the floor, you can stand a soft fist instead. If you can’t or it’s too painful to bring the arm to the position of the hand standing between the ear and shoulder, you can keep the arm lying on the floor beside your body and keep doing the movement with the body.
