"Dr. Feldenkrais explains how Judo training educates one to be "independent of heritage."

To be independent of heritage means that for at least one moment we can know life in a way not dependent upon our state, size, weight, strength, form, age, gender, personal history, ethnic, or religous background.

I found this excerpt from a Feldenkrais Journal by Dennis Leary, I like this a lot.
Yoga is this way as well. It strips away all things of form, and it's not identified with forms.
