First position 

The ability to move physically in any direction depends upon the stance
one takes at the start. For example, if you stand flat-footed, heels on the ground in a sports games such as basketball, soccer, football, your opponents are going to run right by you. ‘Be on your toes’ is an expression that has come to mean, be in a position that allows you to adapt to a full range of movement quickly. 

It all comes down to first position: readiness is all.

Practice this in whatever you do: yoga, meditation, dance, yard work, and so on, however, know that one can also be mentally and emotionally in first position as well. With each action throughout your day, take a moment to gather yourself in first position. Take your seat well. Appreciate the food before taking your meal. Chew mindfully; think before speaking; appreciate others before greeting; place things where they belong: treat everything as if at the first dance lesson where first position marks the spot from which all good things unfold.
