Having mentioned all these benefits, something as powerful and formidable as this is like fire. If done in a wrong way can invite more problems than what it can solve. These days a major problem that has risen up front is that many just start learning about these things by reading on instagram, facebook or watching a video or two without real world knowledge and guidance.

Some things to exceptionally note for people outside, especially in the west, is that Even if you join a class near your home, there’s no guarantee that your facilitator has a deep and proper knowledge of what they are teaching. In India,there are major institutes where the teacher training program itself is 5-6 months long and even after that people are not allowed to teach on their own. Traditional schools, called ashrams or gurukuls, are very strict about these things. To any random unaware kid or person, it might appear to be just some random exercise and positions to be performed but had it been that simple, peace, stability of mind and tranquility would have had no value, just perform these actions and of you go on the way of spirituality but that is not how it is. Thousands and thousands of years took to develop this art and improve it to its smallest details and ultimate perfection. Hence, it is best not to learn yoga from any random place and find someone who has years and years of practice and has themselves learnt from a great Master or Guru.

Brilliant yoga heals the soul.
