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