At the end of the yoga class we would sit cross-legged in meditation for a few minutes. After five minutes the teacher invited us, gently, to fold forward from our hips over our legs and “surrender to the day,” our arms outstretched in front. That’s it. Please do try it. For there’s something about collapsing into the earth like this that truly sees one “give in.” It’s not a novel idea. Supplication to the feet of the sublime has been doing the rounds for a long time.
