Standing and Walking
Tallstanding never really clicked until recently for me.  I think that I really had to get glidewalking down before I really understood tallstanding.  I'm not talking about remembering all of the steps -- kidney bean feet, little squat, etc... -- I mean more the integration side of the matter.  I could remember to do all of the steps but each time I moved, I would have to start from the ground up and fix everything.  I started to do a squat before glidewalking and really focusing on trying to preserve it while I walked, which really put my glutes in a powerful position, and I found that when I stopped walking, I was already 'tallstanding'.  Two other things that really contributed were using my feet with each step, which meant that they were already kidney bean shape when I stopped, and keeping my weight on my heels when I walked, which led to a much more natural feel to my movements.  For me, this is a huge breakthrough and I feel empowered to move about.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I'd love to hear.  If not, try it out, and let me know. -Noah

It's pretty cool how the work spirals - glidewalking helps tallstanding which helps glidewalking which helps stakcsitting which helps....
