“Beard Pull” Pecking, with Chanukia (Patrons)
Back-lying, exploring pecking movements to create ease, clarity, and better carriage of the head, neck, shoulders, and spine. Uses the playful image of having a chin beard that an imaginary friend gently pulls toward the ceiling. Movements from the Chanukia lesson are used to develop possibilities. A link to that prerequisite lesson is in the Comfort & Configuration tab.

Thanks Nick, love that see saw feeling of the spine ????
Another fabulous lesson, Nick! I felt all sorts of interesting and unaccustomed connections in head, belly, hips, neck, lower back…
A few days later, i still feel my joints have been oiled! And i’m enjoying new (“better”!?) relationships between my belly/abdomen, pelvis and lower back.
This is the third time I did this one. It’s made me very pleasurably aware of the movement through my spine of my pelvis as I breathe. I’m going to do the dynamic core lengthening the spine next; another way of organizing pelvis and spine with breath.
