A long river of postures, breath, and sitting still

Yoga

The body remembers how to be a body. Shapes and breath give the mind a place to rest that isn't a thought.

A first walk

1. 1

   Take off your shoes. Feel the floor.

2. 2

   Stand like a child waiting for a story. Soft knees.

3. 3

   Lift your arms on the in-breath, fold on the out-breath. Five times. Slow enough to be a little bored.

4. 4

   Sit. Count ten breaths. If you lose count, begin at one. Beginning is the practice.
