On the side, the sternum becoming flexible

The spine will only be as flexible as the ribs attached and the sternum allow it to be--and those will only move if they can see themselves moving relative to the pelvis. This lesson addresses that whole relationship.

We had a lively discussion of this lesson on the Feldenkrais practitioners mailing list one day, and so I post my analysis too: Analysis of AY 217, On the side, the sternum becoming flexible. It offers a window into some of the underlying neurological themes that take a Feldenkrais lesson beyond being a matter of just playing with variations.
