What is range of motion?
Range of motion refers to the amount of movement that a joint or a series of joint can achieve. In this case the joints of the upper part of your spine.
We can distinguish between active range of motion, when you turn (for instance) your head as far as you can by yourself, and passive range of motion, where you would lay perfectly relaxed and someone else would turn your head as far as possible to the side. Tjis Micro Pause introduces the concept of effortless range of motion where you move your head, using your own muscular strength but without any sensations of stretch, pulling, or tension in the structures surrounding the moving joint. Your must be able to hold the position for some time without effort.
Breathing exercise with a somatic focus. Letting the breath guide simple movements of the body helps your mind stay focused on the physical sensation. Great for when you feel overwhelmed, stressed or in need of grounding yourself.
Connect a spinal circle with your breath in this slow flow pause that serves as a meditation as well as a way to increase space through your upper body.
