Tonight I was teaching an ultimate beginner's class and was explaining Tribal posture-- how it's strong, regal, and uplifted. I started to talk about what it's done for my general posture over the years-- namely, that I used to slouch terribly and look at the floor and hang my head a lot. Now, I walk with my head up. I square my shoulders. I look at people. As I was explaining, I suddenly came up with this awesome phrase, with thanks to Terry Pratchett:
A material takes the form of the container it's in.
If you pour milk into a vase, you have vase-shaped milk.
If you pour milk into a bowl, you have bowl-shaped milk.
What happens if you pour your being into the body of a strong, confident woman?
