CSC: Chest and Spine, Cohesive for Greater Flexibility
A comfortable back and shoulders, a pleasant sitting posture or a light walk, they are all associated with good harmony between the spine and the rib cage.
8 classes of Awareness Through Movement to learn how to make this relationship more fluid.

Course description
Regain space for movement and breathing, and improve your comfort and well-being, both physically and mentally.
Because our rib cage has an underrated flexibility and movement potential, this series of classes will allow you to regain mobility in your spine and ribs, thus improving your back and shoulder comfort, as well as your sitting, gait and breathing.
With this series of lessons, you will delve into understanding the different relationships between the thoracic cavity and the spine and how these relationships affect the comfort and flexibility of the back and trunk.
Why do you need this?
Together with the sternum, the ribs form the rib cage, which is closely connected to the spine by means of small and facet joints. In other words, one can’t move without the other.
This part of the spine where the ribs are attached, corresponding to the thoracic or dorsal vertebrae, is often not used enough in our daily or sporting movements.
It is often insufficiently integrated into our neurological movement patterns for emotional reasons. This results in increased use of the areas above and below it, namely the cervical spine (neck, shoulder, etc.) and the lumbar spine (lower back), which then can become painful.
As a result, greater use of the areas above and below it, namely the cervical and lumbar spine, can sometimes become painful.
How does the magic happen?
The shoulders, connected by the clavicle to the rib cage, benefits from this newfound mobility: a more open posture, a more usable arm….
The greater mobility between the ribs allows the ribs to move more freely, allowing easier and more efficient breathing, which affects the whole body and provides overall balance.
The free movement of the chest affects the comfort of the shoulders, head and neck, and improves walking and sitting posture.
Not by straining or pushing hard, but by allowing and giving time the nervous system to learn new ways.
For whom?
If you feel that your back is heavy, or that your breathing is not fluid.
If you feel overwhelmed by “This is how you should stand” or “This is how you should be sitting”, these classes are for you.
There are many ways to improve flexibility. In this new series of lessons based on the movements of the Feldenkrais Method, we focus on releasing antagonistic muscles to improve the flexibility of active muscles.
This approach can be used as a basis or complement to other exercises such as stretching, yoga, Pilates or fitness.
What is included?
- 8 movement sessions based on Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement method
- Lectures on functional anatomy
- Questions and answers sessions (replay)
- Medias: explanatory audios and videos
