The Power of Muscle-Driven Movements
More and more research shows that muscle-driven physical body movements do great good on many levels of our life. The four element holistic model suggests that muscle-generated movement in an x, y and z-axis of space translates the principle resonant with that axis into a specific life-positive force. 4 Element Yoga builds upon that holistic model, and is designed to help you to further translate this foursome of life-positive forces into the physiology of your body – particularly into your body’s weak links. Moving through these axes of space in the special ways of this new form of yoga will help you turn any moment of exercising into a body-strengthening moment of your day.
If you currently have a yoga practice, are doing Tai Chi, Qi Gong or a martial art, working out within the context of a certain system, or engage a sport regularly, there’s a good chance you’ll find 4 Element Yoga concepts helpful in bringing your practice up a notch. You’ll be given the tools to both ground and direct forces within you as you add simple “four element flourishes” to the motions of your longstanding yoga or other body-focused discipline.
Regardless of what you are doing now, if you want to stay youthful, heal your afflictions, and grow as a person, learning about this new way of exercising will prove very useful. Again, many ancient traditions of humankind have recognized the significance of Nature’s four elements in helping them attain health and vitality; 4 Element Yoga builds upon this ancient wisdom.
The following is from Dr. Walsdorf's book, The Human Body as Sacred Architecture: Understand, Empower and Heal Your Body by Discovering its Holistic Nature. It will help you to utilize this special exercise system.
