Description
A FLEXIBLE CHEST
The flexibility or inflexibility of the chest impacts all aspects of our functioning. An improvement in the way the spine and ribs can move also improves the breathing, the way forces are transmitted through the skeleton, co-ordination and mental and emotional well-being.
This audio set of 4 CDs includes a short introduction to the Method and 4 Awareness Through Movement® lessons. The lessons are appropriate for beginners as well as those with more experience of the Method.
