Nice stuff.
In essence one could say that Nagual Seership is a form of Yoga (union) with the universe that surround us, even if the target is slightly different.
It's an evolving path. New seers are going beyond their traditional limitations.
Hatha yoga (the most popular branch of yoga) is only indirectly physical. Meaning: The point of the postures is stimulating the chakras, making the body
strong, firm and free of energetic debris in order to achieve higher meditation. Pranayamas (breathing exercises), mantras and mudras (body locks in several
places of the body such as the throat, anus and positions of hands and face) aims to this as well.
The problem is that the vast majority of yoga practitioners are not in it to get heightened awareness but for health and relaxation.
Kundalini Yoga on the other hand aims directly to empowering the energy body in order to reach the subtle spheres.
Anyone serious in yogic practice does some form of kundalini yoga. And anyone serious in spiritual evolution does everything that helps, regardless of the
traditions.
So, in short, nagual procedures for developing the double and yogic techniques are naturally compatible. Let's not forget that there is even such a thing
as "Dream Yoga", an approach closer to lucid dreaming than shamanic dreaming (because it works mainly within the realm of the mind) used in order to
transcend duality.
