More About Expansion and Contraction… Jelly Fish!

On the dual subjects of expansion and contraction, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I’m posting this short video of the jelly fish at the aquarium.

Created by Stacy Alexander, the images are set to Ben Harper’s cover of Strawberry Fields.

Since I have quite a few people in my life, yoga students and friends, who complain of repetitive arm and wrist strain, it occurred to me that I should point out that this is the perfect opportunity for a respite from the computer keyboard. The video is about 3 1/2 minutes long – just the right amount of time to do a couple of stretches with the fingers interlaced and arms over head (Urdhva Baddha Hastasana), or in Garundasana (Eagle Pose), or in the Anjali Mudra to stretch the wrists. Let the jelly fish be the inspiration for your breathing, and enjoy:

Namasté.
