Body Intelligence – Finding ease for the lower back, 5: circle the spine on all four’s
by josefine | 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.
Forward fold circle the knees
A Micro Pause to learn about the connection in the body. Opening up the back of the legs and finding space in the lower back at the same time.
Lunge on a chair
A Micro Pause to fire up your entire body. We work with a supported lunge pose that is static but not still.
Activate and release the hip flexors
A Micro Pause that targets the hip flexors. We activate and then release in a supported lunge.
