2. The Side-to-Side Swing (Lateral Line)

  – Visual: Feet wide, arms hanging loose like “wet noodles.”
  – The Move: Twist your torso side-to-side, letting your arms slap gently against your hips/shoulders.
  – Fascial Focus: Unsticks the ribs and releases the “wraparound” waist fascia.

3. The Ape Squat & Shift (Deep Line)

4. The “Tail” Wag (Back Line)

5. The Wrist & Branch Hang (Arm Lines)

  – Visual: Standing, arms out like a “T” with fingers spread wide.
