In pairs, one person lies on their front and the other rolls a ball over their back. The leader can guide it aloud — start between the shoulder blades, then a little harder over the shoulders — with music underneath.
Hold with care
- Hands-on work between participants: ask for consent explicitly rather than reading participation as agreement, and make stopping easy at any point
- Not neutral across bodies, histories or cultures; offer a role that involves no touching and do not ask why it was taken
- Lying face down while someone works on your back is a vulnerable position even with a ball between you
