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.
Big breathing

Breathe: head light, seat heavy
Breathing exercise with somatic focus, using the seat and the head as focus points.
Helps you feel grounded and relaxed.
Open up the chest with a spinal wave
Bring back spaciousness into your upper body and free the breath.
