6th June 2021 - monkey bars

Today I made use of a friend’s child’s climbing frame for some different ‘yoga’. Hanging off the monkey bars, I felt my spine release. I could flex and move my body differently hanging there. This is something I love about swimming, the freedom to move in unusual ways, weightless and supported. On the climbing frame, it’s a different kind of freedom. There, instead of weightlessness, I could play with gravity - lengthening and decompressing.
