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.

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.
