Your blog and your book has been a tremendous help in visualizing and 'awakening' the muscles and fascia involved in creating Hunyuan (whole-body) strength. In Tai Chi and other internal martial arts besides my own a key development is awakening the 'Dan Tian', an area involving core abdominal muscles and the thoracolumbar fascia, as well as the pressure produced from diaphragmic breathing. I experience the Dan Tian as a band of abdominal muscle that runs horizontally about 3 inches below the belly button. Is there a similar development in the practice of Bandha Yoga? Do you have any experience or knowledge you can share about how the Dan Tian links and helps direct strength between the upper and lower body? Greatly appreciate your work.

Keeping your abdomen stable, place your hands on the lowest part of the outer rib-cage and expand into this space on the inhale (as if you had gills) also elicits a diaphragmatic breath.
