support.

This currently holds a spot as my favorite stretch. I do it when I've done all of my normal poses, once my breathing has settled into a steady rhythm of strength. That's when I crouch down and press my fingertips and palms into the sticky mat so that they can support my whole body. Hovering over my hands, I feel that slow strong rhythm built into the support of a rooted balance and stability. It only lasts a few seconds, but it makes me smile every time.
