THE WHAT:
Taking an 'In Focus' look at the 'Da Vinci', a spinal-mobilisation & breathing form which takes its name from Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. In practice, it is a wave-transmission form - consistently undulating from the soles of the feet and transmitting out through the palms of the hands - combined with incrementally-increasing transverse rotation. In this way, tension in the global structure is notice & modulated, whilst eliciting a therapeutic rotational stimulus as the torso turns left/right with the legs maintaing an effort for sagittal alignment.

Whilst valuable as a tension-modulation & spinal-mobilisation context alone, the addition of deliberate breathing - EXhaling to "compress" and INhaling to "expand" - elevates the context by adding an INTRINSIC stretch, affected by the contraction of the respiratory muscles in each of the increasing end-ranges.
