You might consult with a Goju-Ryu sensei and think about taking classes as they often train students in IP while also doing traditional kata instruction. In Aikido I have gotten some IP instruction when doing SUWARIWAZA - kokyuho and there are many shihans in Aikido who can give you instruction in this area if you ask them about it.
I've been doing sanchin kata for about 17 years, but I have been doing it completely wrong for most of the time. While I was taught it with a partner for testing purposes, it was taught to me wrong with lots and lots of muscular tension, heavy breathing etc leading to high blood pressure during the kata.
