Hi Joe, > "Sounds like" is not proof of patrimony.
What patrimony? When you said that Buddhist Yoga targets more on connective tissues rather than muscles, that's exactly what yin yoga does. And because in yin yoga, one has to stay for a while in a pose, it allows him/her to go within during the pose, and that sort of prepares the mind for sitting sessions. Also, the poses affect the flow of chi in the meridians. The way you described it, looks like Buddhist yoga is similar to yin yoga, except that they call yin yoga Tao of yoga instead of Buddhist yoga.. That was what I meant to say. Now I'm a little bewildered with the context of your response to mine. Were you trying to explain the difference between Buddhist yoga and yin yoga?

Siska, Right; "Sounds like" is not proof of patrimony. Yin Yoga is a favorite, for the same reasons that our Buddhist Yoga is. But our Buddhist Yoga is directly from Ch'an practice circles at Ch'an monasteries today, going back I don't know how long. And it directly supports Ch'an sitting. It is "just the thing". Practitioners need it, and thrive on it, and thrive on it as a result of their practice of it. We get lucky sometimes. --Joe > siska_cen@... wrote: > > Joe, > > Sounds like yin yoga.
