所有體位法修行的目標在於：體位法的行動源於生命存在的核心，經過充滿活力的擴展，直達身體的外層與末梢。
當你做伸展的動作，身體的外層也將訊息傳至核心。從頭頂到腳跟你必須找到你存在的核心，並從此中心向四維上下延展與擴充。

我們要將意念與醒覺帶到身體的末梢，並將皮膚喚醒。

修習體位法的過程中，很重要的一點是培養皮膚的敏銳性，修習者要在皮膚及其皮下組織之間創造出空隙，從而避免兩者之間的摩擦，皮下組織包含運動神經，而皮膚包含感覺神經：在體位法中，它們須彼此理解，共同運作，以便讓智性在身體流轉順暢，不凝不滯。

The goal of all asana practice is doing them from the core of your being and extending out dynamically through to the periphery of your body. As you stretch, in turn the periphery relates messages back to the core.
From head to heels, you must find your center, and from this center you must extend and expand longitudinally and latitudinally.

It is the bringing of attention and awareness to the tips of your body and activating the skin.

While practicing the asana, it is very important to develop the sensitivity in the skin. One has to create room between the skin and the underlying tissue so that there is no friction between them. The tissues contain the motor nerves, and the skin contains the sensory nerves. They have to function with an understanding of each other in an asana in order to make the intelligence circulate freely without interruption in the body.
