Micro Movements For Low Energy

This practice offers very small, breath-led movements to support circulation and ease stiffness without draining limited energy. The movements are slow, subtle, and stay within a comfortable range. There is no stretching or strengthening. Suitable for low-energy days when the body needs gentle movement without demand.

Welcome back.

Today we're adding a few small movements.

These are micro movements that work well when you have fatigue because they support circulation and regulation without loading the system.

If this feels too much for you today you can always choose to visualize the movements instead.

So when you feel ready,

Lie on your back with your knees bent.

If lying down is not available,

Sit in a chair with your feet on the floor.

If you can breathe in and out through your nose,

Please do so,

But if it's not comfortable,

Breathe in whatever way feels right for you today.

So we'll start this practice with the breath.

Take a moment and just focus on inhale gently,

Exhale softly.

Take a few breaths here.

Now,

As you exhale,

Draw one knee a little closer to your chest.

It doesn't need to come far,

A few centimetres is enough.

When you're ready to inhale,

Release the knee back down.

Exhaling,

Drawing the opposite knee in.

Inhaling,

Releasing.

Work slowly,

Smoothly and only as far as feels easy.

Keep working from side to side.

Exhaling,

Drawing the knee in a little.

Inhaling,

Releasing.

Let the movement follow the breath.

When you feel ready,

Release both feet back to your start position and rest here for a moment,

Allowing the breath to settle.

And then if it's comfortable,

Place both hands on your lower ribs.

As you inhale,

Float one arm up,

Palm facing inwards.

As you exhale,

Lower the arm back to your start position.

Repeat on the other side.

Gentle,

Unforced,

Breath-led.

These tiny movements help create rhythm in the body without asking for strength or stretch.

Finish with two soft breaths and allow everything to settle.

Thank you for choosing something that supports your energy rather than drains it today.
