I’m lost in her expression. Her grueling life in the circus has paid off with some exquisite biceps and one of the nicest circus costumes I’ve seen. I hope her circus boss pays her well. I hope she is the circus boss.

Nailing chin-ups before s/he can even walk. These two will have lots of strong babies. Dad will never wear pants or shirts.
Spring breeze is to cape as yoga is to life. I wish we could see her act. PHOTO: DIANE ARBUS, 1970 Found HERE
Ed ‘41. Let’s say he’s about 90-ish now. I think he lives just outside Milwaukee with a bunch of dogs. He likes turtles and pigs, too. Favorite food: super salty sauerkraut and dried figs. Drives an imported yellow fiat. Likes to spend his time emailing and playing basketball. Found here
Oh. This room. I could see myself enjoying some time in here probz with these ladies. They look smart and like they’d be down for a little modern dance session. This pose should feel good but these girls look a little stressed. Not knowing much about old-school cameras, I can guess that they had to hold this pose for a while resulting in all kinds of cramps and tweaks in the low back and knees. The one in the center is my fave. Look at that face. Her side-stretch game needs some help. My advice to her: Don’t collapse in the right side of the body- think length in the spine instead. Press into the shin to lift up and out of the hips as you draw energy in towards the mid-line of the body. Wake up the extended leg and step strongly into the foot. Found here
I just tried this and failed. Maybe you need to secure the door? I also forgot to wear lipstick, a bathing suit, and shoes with socks. From here
Found here. From the 1908 London Olympics. Strong legs and romantic hairdo’s. From a time when coaches wore bonnets.
I love the mischievous one on the far left. Found on Rachel and Yoga. From Indra Devi’s “Yoga For Americans”
Maria Tallchief in Balanchine’s Firebird (NYC Ballet) from the 1950’s. This might be THE leap of the 20th century. Captured on film! Shit yes!
Found here. These women were on to something. Loving the two ladies with their heads smooshed together right at the center. #yogapyramid
