Ardha Mandukasana -- The Half-Frog Pose

Lying prone on the ground with one leg bent at right angles and the other extended straight out is a reliable way to release tension around my sacrum. In other words, it's good for tight asses. Over the last week or so, I haven't been able to get enough of this asana. And now, as I walk, my wiggle quotient has skyrocketed. This tushie of mine is loose and free. Been too tense for most of my life. Good girls don't shake their behinds. Whether or not I've been a good girl, I'm not sure -- but I sure wanted the world to think I was. So -- I squeezed my butt as firmly as I could. And squeezed all the life out of my spine as I did so.

Now, like a frog, I'm loose and ready to jump. Am I still a "good girl?" Don't know, but this freedom sure feels a heck of a lot better.
