    Standing doesn't have to do with "meditation". When you stand, you can develop:

    - endurence,

    perhaps ur sensibility of what constitutes meditation is different?

    AFAIK, meditation can occur anywhere at anytime, at least from the perspective of Ch'an - meditation is the practice of "stopping and seeing", meaning that it is a pragmatic means of avoiding doing what most of us do in our daily lives: reacting out of habitual neurosis instead of responding with equanimity to a situation when we a challenged in someway; by this definition, it becomes relevant, as opposed to rarified: I mean, who cares how great of a meditator I am sitting on a cushion in a dimly lit room if once I come out of that room I am an asz hole to my wife and kids, right?

    admittedly though, in the pic above, that might be harder - but then again, there are many yoga postures much more challenging to achieve and maintain, wherein meditation occurs...
