Yes. Yi Jing Jing from Da Mo was considered a form of yoga.

stretching, and strengthening your tendons, ligaments and joints.

I meant these posturing will help your health and wushu/fighting ability.

Wuji gives rise/birth to Tai Ji.

health benefits from yoga or yi jing jing do not happen overnite.

we have to practice them daily for 7 or 8 years.

or just practice them all the time.
