…and said, verily I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
– Matthew 18: 3 – 4 KJV
One of the beautiful aspects of scripture is its wide range of application – the hidden practical jewels that can find beneath the surface stones. To play like a child, to move and stay low each morning during yoga practice is essential to maintaining the supple flexibility of our youth. Small children, even after they learn to walk, are often found playing on the floor. Flexing, twisting and stretching without notice or injury. The floor is a gateway to good health. It not only promotes youthful agility, the lower postures help return us to an abandoned humility. An often forgotten world beckons beneath our feet.
