I think they mean the skin and muscle not the actual cervical spine and jaw bone.

I am an avid practitioner of Vinyasa yoga.
I firmly believe that the combination of vinyasa, taichi and meditation is the reason why I have not been sick for years.
Im talking no colds, flus, sore throats, etc.
At the very least, when I wake up and before I go on my morning run/cardio exercise, I go through a series of Sun Salutations (A and B) to get myself ready for the day.

Yeah, it's the way americans approach, understand and work with just one aspect (or branch) of yoga.
and it's good.
a healthy balanced body is a wonderful thing.
it's not, however, the essential objective of hatha yoga.
it's the result that westerners (americans in particular) are fixated on because people are so attached to material, to form, to surface, to external beauty, to weight, etc., etc., etc..
And are, generally speaking, rather ignorant and disinterested in who, in essence they are and what, essentially, is going on.

Unfortunately you are right.
Even with my years of teaching and practicing taichi, many are not interested in the deeper spiritual (not religious) aspect of the art and its the same with yoga.
Thankfully, there are those of us who DO understand and who DO appreciate the deeping understanding of both taichi and yoga.
