Abstract
I will prove that it is possible to approximate Legendrian isotopies of loose Legendrians by isotopies that have small energy, provided that the loose chart is sufficiently small. For this, we use Murphy’s h-principle together with the fact that there always exist small enery isotopies of non-Legendrian submanifolds.
