I believe that, before we can be really free we have to grow deep roots and find a firm foundation and stability both in the mind and the body. Working with the body, we can see that to develop flexibility we first need to build strength in the muscles to give support to the body. Just like a tree – once it has grown its deep roots and foundations, then the branches and leaves can be available to move about freely in the wind and air. We too, once we have ensured we are well and truly grounded, can find our freedom of movement and flexibility in the body and creativity of mind.
