What should I write about Yoga? you probably might have read tons of articles on “What is yoga”, where it came from (does it really matter ?!?) etc.,. and I dont want to writeup same stuff that you can find all over internet. Why would someone wants to read or care about where and when it started as long it is enriching our life, I dont really care if it is from India or it is 5000 years old practice as long as I have something good to do every morning and keep my engine running smooth. The founder of yoga (Patanjali) might have foreseen this future and thought he should put something together for generations to come. We are so much stuck to TV, computer with in no activity for hours, the animals do better than us and they dont need any yoga or workouts. Did you ever notice any obese lion or tiger or wolf in wild?? (ofcourse on TV 
) I haven’t so far.
You probably might have read how yoga can make us flexible, energetic, make us look young, and can cure certain health problems etc., the list goes on. I could write whole deal of notes on yoga benefits, uses etc., but I am sure no one will be remembering that for a long time and I am pretty sure no one is intened to be a yogi or yogini (so, I am not talking about that either)
What is NOT Yoga ?
- Yoga is not a religion. Yes, definetely its not a religion, though it is very deeply rooted in Hinduism. Yoga is for everyone. Its a practice to unite our body with mind, to create awareness in ourselves, to take care of our beautiful body that this nature has gifted us.
- Yoga is not body building or acrobatics. It is a process of twisting/bending your body in various positions and at the same time connect yourself with the body. Twisting/bending is part of the yoga, it is not the yoga.
- Yoga is not a cult.
For me, if you take care of your body.. it will take care of you. And I do yoga for that very purpose.
