- Arm behind head and to the chin, then flex forward.
- This short video is a visual reminder of AY 44. Someone else might interpret the movement you see with the words in a different manner. The words written sometimes are verbatim, sometimes close to verbatim and sometimes my interpretation of the words that are written by Moshé Feldenkrais. — Ute Müller
