Seated Forward Extensions – ‘Resting’ the Forehead (Intermediate Level)

499.001,099.00

The quietening effect of forward extensions is due in part,  to the restful condition of the forehead/ frontal brain.  However, this area can be brought to rest under quiet different circumstances.  This session starts with preparation of the limbs, and also some time experimenting with what it means to ‘rest’ the forehead.
