Jail Inmates Learn Self Release
In Lessons From Stretch Teacher
BY DICK WEST
Washington-UW-Thcre
lady who called me
(hi
and reported
up
m3
that she had
been "teach
ing freedom''
to prisoners at
the local jail.
"You're a
prof cssiunal
lock pick
asked.
"N o, n o."
she said. "1
mean 'inner freedom.' I teach
them self release."
An inner voice told me that
I should hang up right there
but I was a prisoner of my
own curiosity.
"How is this inner freedom
through self release achiev
ed?" I asked.
"By stretching." she re
plied
"Why You Should Not Exer-
was : else.
In the book, which she
published herself, Miss Lin
den asserts that "exercise
can do you more harm than
good." As a substitute for
exercise, the recommends
stretching.
But simple, ordinary stretch
ing won't do. Miss Linden has
so m e t h i n k j devised a system of "dynamic"
like that?" 1 i stretching, based o n her
theory that the human body is
structurally similar to the so
lar system and the atom.
Her stretches, five of which
are outlined in the book, em
ploy "natural principles dis
covered more than four cen
turies ago by Leonardo da
Vinci." They also take into
account Newton's third law
of motion.
The aim. Miss Linden ex-
i plained, is to "pull away from
gravity" and acquire a sensa-
And that is how I became ltion of weightlessness similar
him in Oran, Algeria. Ben Bella received a hero's welcome j acquainted with Miss Milli-jto that experienced by the
from thousands of Algerians and guerrilla troops of the cent Linden, creator of "the j astronauts.
National Liberation Army lining the streets to provide a j Linden stretch program" and Most people, she added,
guard of honor. (UPI) (author of a book entitled 'make the mistake of trying to
stretch like a cat. They are
unable to do this because "the .
process of evolution is incom
plete," she said.
I don't know what Miss Lin
den meant by that. In fact,
I'm not even certain that I'm
quoting her correctly.
During my interview
with her. Miss Linden il
lustrated certain points by
stretching her limbs and
torso this way and that.
Miss Linden wore a tight
fitting dress. Such condi
tions are not conducive to
note-taking.
Recently, she has been giv
ing lectures on stretching to
inmates in the District of
Columbia jail. Several prison
ers have written testimonials
describing the stretches at the
next best thing to a writ of
habeas corpus.
If she and gravity remain
on good terms, she will soon
publish a second book called
"How to Make Your Muscle
Sing." It also should make a
hit with the jail birds.
