I have finished reading Emotional Clearing, and would like to find an alternative to yoga for bodywork. At least two of the poses recommended are hazardous - the shoulder stand and the headstand. The shoulder stand can cause damage to the vertebrae in the neck. The headstand can cause a stroke in people with high blood pressure, and other cardio-vascular problems. In addition, those with degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, may not have the flexibility to achieve many positions. I have never liked yoga, and would like to use methods that work more normally with the body's natural positions. A one-size-fits-all method is not appropriate for everyone. Would Tai-Chi, or Chi-Gong be suitable alternatives? If not, does anyone have other recommendations?
