  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?
