God i love this.

And just how i stand a lot of the time. Tree pose a favorite.
Why do we stand like this i wonder.

Cool light and mist ruled the day here.

Hey St.B. I stand like that too and also wonder why. Some memory?

I just experimented to see if I could figure it out and I can't.

hmmm, sometimes I fall asleep with my legs in this position - I think of it as a version of the hanged man pose. Waiting for the answer; or rebirth, whichever comes first.

Standing this way certainly 'stills' something in the body - one is paying more attention, on a subtle level.

You are so right, anon! The Hanged Man. Goes with my reaction of waiting. The "stilling" of the body.
The leg up does stop forward motion.
