I agree with your overall comment, however when you say experts know tensegrity and biomechanics I disagree.

Some of them sure understand it. But there is a difference between understanding like feeling it, and understanding in a scientific way.

I made a model. When you laid down concepts and methods people can have an opinion on it, and give feed back to acknowledge or refute your model. This is the way modern science works.

So I don't reinvent the wheel, I update an ancient practice full of right and wrong things. I even can say a shallow one just because yogis never cut open a dead body to understand what they feel (in the sens of imagine).

In my model, I explain what's happening in the body using new knowledge, and I add what's missing to hatha yoga for it to be truly effective. Because if yoga were working, we would know it :)

Anyone can access to it and comment it. They can find it great or full of bullshit. But it's written down and accessible by anybody. On the contrary, yoga is mainly verbal, and one-to-one with no why. Yoga has also a spiritual/religious side I completely dismiss, just because it's not about facts but mainly placebo

Just for that, it's a big leap.
