Body Intelligence: Finding ease for the lower back, 1: the relationship between your spine and your pelvis
by josefine | Jun 6, 2025
The spine consists of tailbone, sacrum, five vertabreas in the lower back, 12 vertabreas in the middle back, and 7 vertabreas in the neck. Between each vertabrea is a disc of connective tissue, a tendon like, strong material. Furthermore, all vertabreas are connected by joints, this is why you sometimes hear a cracking sound when stretching your back. In this Micro Pause you get to explore the relationship between your spine and your pelvis, with the purpose of getting to know your own body better.
Breathe and roll the shoulders
A Micro Pause to connect breath and movement to access deeper layers of relaxation. We move the shoulders slowly and use the breath as a focus point to help us get into a meditative state.
Standing, breathing rotation
A Micro Pause that gives a sense of spaciousness in the upper body. Connecting breath and a rotation of the spine, working slowly and with a curious mind.
Knee to nose
A Micro Pause that energises and gives a sense of aliveness through the entire body. We work the legs one at a time to help release the lower back.
