Messagenatural movement is be blockage free
chi nei tsang instructs in searching for peripheral tension cause in the center, and
tao yoga trains center
moving through asanas in yoga is good
trainning of intrinsic spine muscles
if done correctly
(70% capacity of minor points, 100% of major points/chakras, relaxed structure)
yet with stretching there is a contradiction
for tension in e.g. legs is for a reason
if lower back is weak that is compensated with tension in legs that are a compensation
thus is leg tension is released, and no strenght in spine or kwa, that makes an uneasy structure that is then reinforced
by leg tension as a survival adaptation
strengthen the center and the legs do not need to be tensed
and as any unrewarding energy investment, it is released
in time
if you want power
stretching can be made a stretching, power of exercise in both,
it is a question of skill and intent
yang practices in taoyoga include tai chi form utilization as a projecting exercise
that was physical
the emotional approach is somewhat different so with tao attitude expect dissonance and suggestion
so approach wisely
dojo is a place where one learns what one comes there to learn
teacher keeps the space
and student studies what it wants to learn
if those don't match
change the dojo,
one way or another
teacher is there to learn too
sometimes
