Trunk and Limbs. As I've said before the trunk and spine both organize and support the efficient use of the limbs. Many movements from this class will illustrate this concept. There are six basic ranges of motion of the trunk and spine: flexion and extension, right and left side-bending (lateral flexion), and right and left rotation. As we practice each of these movements we'll also incorporate arm and leg movements that illustrate how the spine and trunk both organize and support the limbs. We'll do these movements somatically, that is slowly, comfortably, voluntarily, pandicularly, and with awareness.
