Movement World

Standing in Tadasana or moving with gravity is like standing or moving whilst being guided by a puppeteer who effortlessly pulls the strings of our body marionette. And it is for us to respond with a slight delay to the initiation of that movement, just as the marionette would. Imagine your head being lifted by an imaginary string, so that the rest of your body can hang away from your head being lifted. And your spine can naturally fall into its relaxed gravitational alignment. You know that you’re perfectly upright and in your axis when there is no effort involved, but when it simply just feels like you’re magically held by the strings of a guiding puppeteer. (Tada meaning ‘Mountain’, Sama meaning ‘Upright or Straight’, Sthiti meaning ‘Standing Still’)
