Some say the popularity of yoga is watering down the ancient art
However, does this diluting of an ancient art mean yoga has lost its spirituality?‘How many Insta-yogis even know what it really is?’Brian, founder of Yoga Alliance Professionals, the UK’s leading professional body for yoga teachers and trainers, says: ‘Search #yoga on Instagram and millions of images and videos pop up.
‘Diet is important for good health, and yoga philosophy describes in detail what a good diet consists of. Yoga also places a lot of importance on keeping the digestive system in top condition and has a range of easy-to-do exercises for this purpose. ‘Traditionally, yoga was taught on a one-to-one basis by a guru, or teacher. The student lived with the teacher and absorbed the teachings on a daily basis, but it was up to the student to put the teachings into practice.
Kat Farrants, founder of Movement For Modern Life, says: ‘I love that yoga is everywhere and for everyone. ‘If folks come to yoga after watching yoga for goats and then learn the amazing tools to feel happier, healthier and more connected, then that’s great. What’s even better is if they can take the yoga they have learnt on the mat and translate this off the mat to live a more compassionate, connected life.‘People talk about sharing “authentic” yoga practice and for me, yoga in all its forms, is an amazing tool to have. I think that the spiritual aspect of yoga can put people off.
‘It’s a feeling that can lift us from living an overwhelmed, busy existence and help us poke our heads above the parapets, to feel more connected to our own breath, to our own selves, to each other and to our planet.
