loose

are you holding on too tightly? – loosen off – as if your anchor chain – while staying grounded – lengthens, slackens and bending, floats

settle your head and neck on the spine’s great wave

move your hands and arms to free your shoulders and upper chest

let the bounce in your feet and ankles spring into your legs and into a pelvis that swims or anchors when it needs to

let your body drift away from rigidity – imagine the generosity of water

sthira sukham āsanam – the physical postures should be steady and comfortable YS II 46 (Alistair Shearer)
