I've spent more hours than I can count in this stance crafting my tension and going within. This is something vital in the beginning of the journey.

You learn how to hold tension isometrically in the "easiest" stance with very little to none muscle activation. Standing still and getting more from within.

This excellent for recovery as well as getting more molding under your belt.

The video below shows a 20 minute standing meditation. I made sure to film it all so everyone would believe it :)

You stand normally with a slight bend in the knee. Put tension and retract the toes. You'll know there's too much bend in the knee if you feel quad.

Begin with 5 minutes. Build up from there.

This is used as a recovery tool. It allows your body to solely tap into the fascial network in stillness. It helps to visualize ankle stiffness, fascial tension, and the full body connection as you do this.

You would do this on a day off or after a heavy workout.

Points of Focus

• Back chain dominant
• IABH and femur Internal Rotation (want the columns straight)
• Circular diaphragmatic breathing
• Eyes forward as best as you can
• Actively press through the contact point
