I don't think the time of day matters much (but I'm just guessing, I haven't studied this). I've been doing two bouts in the morning and 2 later in the day. As you say it's something to actually look forward to, there's something pleasant about it. Thanks, Darkhorse.

I have been doing this most days for about a week. I can do it longer when wearing shoes than when barefoot. It also forces people like me, who usually hit the floor running, to find a few minutes for much needed centering and contemplation. I’m assuming that it is best done in the morning to affect sleep that night? Can’t you just see all of us in other time zones standing on one leg while you are sleeping deeply? Now, if I could just tuck my head under my armpit… Seth, this is so great! I have been doing this most days for about a week. I can do it longer when wearing shoes than when barefoot.

When I stand on one leg I'm pulling up the other leg behind me so I am using the muscles of one arm. That’s a good idea, Tim.

My arms had to come down before my leg did. Then I switched legs and put my arms out again. I feel stronger relaxation then when just doing it on one leg. This is interesting!
