I must locate or invent a Cortisol Parisol or Umbragebrella.

Just for #ContextAndPerspective (and a majority, I suspect, who may be wondering) - "What is cortisol?"

Cortisol is a steroid hormone in the glucocorticoid class of hormones and a stress hormone.

I'm puzzling over the line about "lifting". Lifting what? I suspect, were I to try to pick up Mrs A, we might both get rather stressed. However, lifting my morning coffee is a very different matter. But what if I lift an eyebrow?

Lift your foot high enough to put it in your mouth. It is one of those yoga positions.

Although a reclining or prone position is permissible, you may still be insufficiently bendy.

I have never been particularly bendy. Now I am less bendy. My sufficiency of bendiness should never be presumed.

If you can bend whatever you want as much as reasonably necessary, I might presume that this degree of bendiness is sufficient.

The question is always: "as much as reasonably necessary for what?" I have been known to be painfully deficient in my bendability.

My mind became bendy in college, and it is now bent all out of shape. I put glasses and a hat on it so people are less likely to notice.

@tomgrzybow, I'm not sure my mind is so much bendy as turned to fluid and evaporating into mist...

Mrs A would not be im-pressed, @Katherine Bond

I used to be very bendy when I was taking regular yoga classes. Now I’m more creaky.

All my bendy bits sound like Rice Krispies. Snap, crackle, pop.

I have wondered about attempting some yoga for additional bendiness.

I could easily be convinced that walking helps flexibility, particularly if you shake your fists at the clouds a lot.

Yoga definitely helps your bendiness. One thing I like about it is that you don’t do more than your body wants. If it hurts, don’t do it.

I can picture you shaking your fists at the clouds (for upper body workout) @Brian Fitzgerald 😂

I practice sleep-yoga. It saves time and avoids any poses you might be foolish enough to attempt while conscious, and is interspersed with relaxation.

One of my favorites in yoga is Shavasana, the Corpse Pose. You’d enjoy it.

I used to be able to place my palms on the floor without bending my knees - with some effort. I have no desire to try anything of the sort today.

That’s one I can still do. Others have gone by the way.

I can do that, but only while lying down on the floor.

QiGong is great as well. Very efficient to keep calm, smooth, flexible and being healthy.

These days I am also much more creaky than bendy/flexible.

There are several widely used "cloud gestures". One I prefer has the tip of the thumb protruding from between the first and second finger, sometimes called a fig. Slap the bicep of that arm with the other hand for additional emphasis. Some say this originated in Italy, but may merely be popular there. I would check Egyptian hieroflyphics or mesolithic cave paintings for evidence of earlier usage.

I am wondrous entertained by the concept of hydroflyphics...

I presume there were flies on the wall, listening and leaving cynical fly spec graffiti, even back then.
