Over the course of time, the face of yoga has evolved into so many various forms. It’s come a long way from its roots and the perception of people from different places who have adopted the practice has influenced its composition. This may not be news to you because it’s all over social media as yoga is now heavily commercialized. In the middle of all these yoga trends, how do we distinguish the authentic ones from the mere marketing fads?
As yoga teachers, we are morally obligated to preserve and nurture genuine yogic principles though it may be a difficult task in the advent of the so-called “modern” yoga. To help us see a clearer picture of authentic yoga, I have once again invited Prasad Rangnekar for another enlightening episode. Listen in as he explains the context of yoga and how to discern which among the several modern yoga teachings are genuine and which ones are not.
