piano fitness is zen.  mind/body = self/soul. playing is singing meditation.  training continuously improves connection/balance.  sitting lower releases 2nd middle (inner arm) allowing captain and middle more freedom.  energy from soul through piano's  sound and feeling the golden thread start to finish is becoming normal.

piano is fitness.  remaining open to new feelings takes concentration. life is change. every breath is unique.  relearning to sit after jill miller's yoga tune-up for the spine changed EVERYTHING.  breathing into opened back muscles, i was totally unaware of my frozen quadratus lumborum.  after 1 week of painful adjustment, relearning all the basics: breathing, sitting, walking.

piano fitness is undoing.  deeply rooted rituals, like sitting, walking, standing, (the way you scratch your nose!) might not need changing, but moving the levers in conjunction probably do, to improve efficiency-less work/more rest.  2nd arm continuously changes when watching the 2nd center.
