1. The torso stays back with neck( since, you told neck is part of the torso) while every goes forward.
…..
@ you told torso is from top of the spine to the bottom of the pelvis and ending to the end of shoulders.
@ noticing the torso from the rest of the parts.

Means, what is every think goes forward?

1.The head goes forward( and up)
2. The knees goes forward while the hips back( hips are part of the torso).

this is good tip.

i never believed semi supine. since, alexander own hand written books i never seen this word.
but, i tried.

the opposition between legs and torso is always there. but i think with out
head forward and up, this oppositional relationship may becomes doing.
and this can be felt while bending the knees.

the flexor,extensor relationship can be senced, in semi supine. but
how difficult to observe these scenarios.

if any body gets the word semisupine in alexander books, let it post here.

I felt last week’s class was really useful. It is hard to properly utilize the body if you can’t even define it. To be honest, sometimes I am sort of worried about becoming more aware of the body and how to use it. I worry I will overthink it and suddenly have to command my body to do things instead of just doing them instinctively (“inhale…exhale…bend like this…”). I think knowing what exactly the torso is, however, is really helpful. I had previously thought of it only as the area between my pelvis and neck! Thanks Leland, and see you Thursday.

I do feel as though I have an expanding sense of my torso. The exercise where we walked forwards and backwards with legs close together and knees bent was helpful to me. See you Thursday.
