Objective: How you can make turning
easier using your whole body.
In daily life: this lesson will
help when turning while driving, or even turning to speak
with the person you’re sitting next to.
Tips: this lesson should be done
on a chair, preferably a folding chair or one with a firm
seat. Do the movements slowly and only do what’s easy
and comfortable. Avoid any pain or discomfort. Breathe easily
throughout.
• Come to the front of your chair with your feet flat
on the floor, hands resting comfortably on your thighs.
• Turn to your right, going as far as you can comfortably-
without strain- and notice the point on the wall where your
nose is pointing. Come back to the center; do that a few
times looking for a smooth and easy movement.
• Pause.
• Leave your head and eyes facing forward and just
turn your shoulders to the right and come back to center
several times.
• Pause.
• With feet flat, take left knee forward just a bit
and back to neutral, several times, noticing how this movement
affects your pelvis, spine and shoulders.
• Pause.
• Go back to just turning to the right and notice
the spot on the wall- can you see further with less effort?
Are you using more of yourself to turn, rather than just
your head and neck?
