These 14 Awareness Through Movement® lessons were taught live in a 4-day workshop entitled Connecting Arms and Ribs taught by Diana Razumny in Santa Fe NM in September of 2016. The lessons explore how the use and movement of your arms are intimately related to your ribs. The skeletal connections of the shoulder blade, shoulder joint, clavicle, sternum and ribs are made obvious. Attention to breathing is woven into the lessons to highlight the obvious relationship and accompaniment to the ribs. Some challenging movement puzzles peak curiosity creating a fun learning environment. Doing these lessons will give you a new appreciation for integrating your ribs into the use of your arms.
