Moving the muscles in all possible directions is always good! Especially since the long muscles along the spine are not actually two big muscles but lots os smaller muscles with fibres running in different directions. In this Micro Pause we learn to move the rib cage separately from the hips and at the same time give an inner massage to the muscles along the sides of the spine.

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.
