Inspired by: student Paula
In the Conversations, we briefly touched on the topic of balance and balancing poses. While I’m already familiar with different poses, my student reminded me of another one that is quite popular in our region. She confidently claimed she could do it.
At that moment, all sorts of bird names starting with "S" came to mind—sparrow, swan, stork—but the one we needed was the swallow. (You might recognize this word as a verb, but in this case, it has nothing to do with that—though that’s a story for another time.)
In English, the posture that involves standing on one leg, extending the other leg backward, and stretching the arms out to the sides is called the swallow.

And if you need to brush up your knowledge on most common birds have a look into this QUIZLET SET.
