Body Intelligence – Finding ease for the lower back, 5: circle the spine on all four’s

by | Jun 6, 2025

In this pause we continue to practice moving the spine in a circular shape. When we are on all fours, or, as in the Micro Pause, leaning forward with our hands on a chair (which is more comfortable on the knees), the pelvis can move more freely than if we sit on it, so you may feel as if you’re making an overall bigger movement in the spine. The spine is, of course, connected to the pelvis so when the pelvis move the spine will also move.

Interlace fingers into waist

Micro Pause to open up your shoulders. This one is especially for the area around the collar bones, or the front of the shoulders.

Easy seated twist

This Micro Pause will get you to know your back better. Increased self awareness starting from the spine. We make a twist and focus on the sensations along the spine, while trying to negotiate more space in the back.

Standing all 4 arm circle

Micro Pause to bring aliveness into the upper back. We use the chair to support our hands as we make a big circle with the arm, letting the movements ripple through the entire body. We end with negotiating more space in the body using a gentle rotation.
