Yoga goes on changing its stature,
style, form and manners as time psses by. She has been embellished with newer
costumes and make-ups, and the semi clad Yoga Beauty struts on the ramps; while
the good old spectators watch her cat-walk awestruck.
Some of the modern Yoga Acharyas have
made yoga a Circus. They make their students twist, turn, writhe, roll into a
ball like a Porcupine, place both legs on the shoulders
and roll over the ground, so that the younger generation has taken it as yet
another form of ’Circus’ or as a preparatory
course for their newer art form, the ‘Rock'. (true that a yogi can make all possible movements and postures with his body)
What I have to advise is that, Yoga is
not a Circus or Gymnastics even though all these involves body movements. Yoga is a ‘Sasthra’’(Science)
proclaimed by the ancient Rishis
for the physical and mental wellbeing of mankind.So it is always better to
study it in the 'traditional form' so that we can enjoy the full benefit of it.
