Pretty people, upside down. A little inspiration for your Friday afternoon -- may you witness the way you can keep your cool, even when the whole world seems to be standing on its head!

I like to imagine the conversations the pair below had while experiencing the jarring reality of the body efforting against gravity. A discussion like that would be as surreal and playful as yelling underwater (did you do that with your siblings as a kid? I sure did.)

Headstands and handstands cultivate deep awareness, and allow us to observe the weight of the body, and yet there is an experience of floating upward. We can eliminate our own heaviness -- by strength, curiosity, courage.

How else is this sort of release possible?
