Björk operates on instinct, Madonna on intellect.
In a 2001 Nylon Magazine interview with James Servin, Björk said she wrote “Bedtime Story” for Madonna hoping it would encourage her to be more intuitive and less logical.
That Nylon story included an incredible anecdote. Servin wrote:
“I sent a fax to Madonna via her publicist Liz Rosenberg, with the question: ‘Did singing the lyrics Björk wrote for Bedtime Story lead you in the direction of going more with the flow?’”
In response, Rosenberg wrote:
“I’ve never thought Madonna was a ‘go with the flow’ person before or after recording Bedtime Story. She goes with a flow — but it’s a flow of her own creation, if you know what I mean.”
What a perfect description of Madonna’s career: “A flow of her own creation.” But with “Confessions II” and its PR rollout, we’ve caught a few glimpses of instances where Madonna couldn’t create her own flow. Her inability to fully control her world is humanizing.

Does that make sense as a way to work? — from a MJH note Our Response Yes. That's exactly the direction.Compression work with parallel legs gives you a container.

Big Toe Joint Pain in Ashtanga: Risk, Reward, Conditioning
Big toe joint conditioning can be a missing link in Ashtanga yoga, especially when you’re jumping back and putting weight onto a joint that isn’t prepared. In this Shala Daily, we look at why so many practitioners get screened at the big toe joint and what it means for injury risk. The video explores a practical question: what is the risk-to-reward of big jump-outs, and is it worth it for you? We talk about how the hallux joint can be conditioned, and how that may help you approach hard landings and transitions with more awareness. Alongside the physical work, the study guide theme is surrender. What can we accept? How do we change perspective and let go when stressors are present, even if others can’t see them? That same acceptance shows up in practice when a flinch or reset appears, even without pain, and you have to acknowledge what’s happening before you can smooth it out. If you want to learn skills like jump-outs, the message is clear: want what you want, then take calculated risks and do the conditioning work for toes, wrists, and ankles. visit mjh.yoga #ashtanga #yogapractice #injuryprevention
