Everyone should be reaching towards the middle and doing
more of the same won’t help. It is necessary to do what is opposing and usually what does
NOT come natural. We must practice, this doesn’t mean immerse, but practice
what we are not good at performing. Naturally mobile people will excel
and therefore tend to enjoy yoga b/c they are good at it and will end up doing
more and more of it.
People w/ a certain amount of “natural strength” (I use this
loosely b/c it doesn’t exist) will gravitate towards lifting b/c
they’re good at it. These people are typically on the more stiff and wound up (psychologically)
side that could use the mobility, relaxation and breathing patterns of yoga.
This is true and the same for the yoga person that needs the addition of
strength work (actually more so than the other way around, even if I’m slightly
biased, science agrees).
The desk jockey needs to do something that’s off his/her
butt. And the genetic freak has just happened to luck out (h/e remember that ‘natural’ strength
doesn’t exist). Unless they are too mobile, then this goes to the
“stability spectrum” that I’ll explain next time. I happen to be one of these
too mobile/strong/ freaks and it can raise a whole new host of issues that I’ll
get into later.
Until then, do what goes against your nature or comfort
zone. That’s where the magic is.
