Integrated motion involves the dynamic interplay of Yin and Yang, which I think of as an intimate pair of dolphins at play. You can feel this dynamic interplay in the gentle undulations of the spinal column as our breath moves openly. When we apply our will and artistic thought to this rhythmic undulation, we can channel it into various patterns and forms and it becomes very very interesting. Understood in it's elegant simplicity, this principle applies to every movement we do - whether walking, writing, typing, juggling, dancing, singing, kissing, laughing, reaching, turning, twisting, sipping tea, you name it! It's all connected. Everything is unified in Yoga.

As an experiment, take any two activities that you enjoy and contemplate their interconnections using this framework.

Asana is not yoga, but yoga unifies all the diverse motions and patterns of asana.
Juggling is not yoga, but yoga unifies all the diverse motions and patterns of juggling.
Furthermore, yoga unifies asana and juggling in the dynamic interplay of yin and yang.

Try it for yourself.

_______ is not yoga, but yoga unifies _______.
_______ is not yoga, but yoga unifies ________.
Furthermore, yoga unifies _______ and _______ in the dynamic interplay of yin and yang.

Namaste,
Paul
