Is Yoga all about just bending and twisting? Can you please clear this myth if I am wrong?
Question - Gurudev, Is Yoga all about just bending and twisting? Can you please clear this myth if I am wrong?
Gurudev Sri Sri - Yoga is not just bending and twisting. Yoga is a lifestyle and should not be mistaken for only asanas. A disease-free body, quiver-free breath, stress-free mind, inhibition-free intellect, obsession-free memory, ego that includes all, and soul which is free from sorrow are the signs of a perfect yogi. As Krishna said in the Bhagavad Gita, “Samatvam Yoga Ucyate” – equanimity in the individual is a sign of Yoga. Patanjali has said, “Yogaha Karmasu Kaushalam”. In Gita, Lord Krishna has said, Yoga is skill in action. Yoga is not just an exercise; it is how skilfully you can communicate and how skilfully you can act in any given situation. Yoga has a secret to turn the state of mind. It empowers you to feel the way you want to feel at any time. Instead of being a victim of your own feelings. We convey a lot through our presence and our vibes. Yoga helps to improve our vibes. Our ability to communicate depends on our ability to receive communication from others. Yoga helps us to have that clear mind.
