The Soft Drop

Release is half the workout

Here is a secret that gym posters leave out. A muscle that squeezes and never lets go gets tired, tight and grumpy. The best floors are strong and soft, and the soft part is the Soft Drop.

The Soft Drop is a full release with the breath. Breathe in and let your belly rise. Let your floor drop and widen, like a hammock settling, and your lips, your kitty and your rosebud soften with it.

This move matters for your pleasure. A relaxed floor lets arousal swell, lets touch land comfortably and lets the muscles contract freely when they are invited to. Plenty of women find that learning to release does more for their sex life than squeezing ever did.

Try a small trick. Soften your jaw and your tongue as you drop. The jaw and the floor seem to listen to each other, and many people find one eases the other.

Today you practice releasing as fully as you lift. Take your time. Every drop is a tiny holiday.

Form checkBreathe in as you drop and rest as you breathe out. Let your jaw hang loose. A full drop counts as much as a good lift.
