Also, since we're on the topic, the problem of knowing what a body can do is a bit more epistemological as far as I can tell, you might've taken it a bit literally (even though Yoga isn't just a matter of movements and postures). "Body" for Nietzsche had a broader meaning than the human body, it had to do with composites in general and the case is probably similar with Spinoza as well since his entire system is quite complex (modes, attributes, essences and all that). Not knowing what a body can do means that you do not know for example when you've exhausted your knowledge on all the possible relevant interactions a body can have (due to increasing complexity, maybe even emergent properties and theoretically difficult thresholds).
