Words are a great way to express complex and abstract ideas that would otherwise be hard to convey. However, as we know, the meaning of a sentence lies not merely in the words but also in how it is spoken. Words uttered in haste can come across as diametrically opposite to the same words spoken with joy. Something similar can be said of Yoga. Depending on how we approach it, it can be yet another fitness class or a step to our higher nature.
“The Yoga you teach is so unique and powerful despite similarities to what I learned elsewhere. What is the trick?” This is the question posed in this short clip of an interview. Sadhguru expounds on how the way Yoga is transmitted makes a world of difference to the practitioner and how treating it as a mere set of instructions can kill the latent possibility. By overemphasizing the benefits related to physical fitness, are we, as Sadhguru likens in the video, riding an airplane like a bullock cart?
As the interest in Yoga grows globally, it becomes more important to ensure that the authenticity and the true intent are kept alive. Sadhguru walks through how our own approach to Yoga alters the experience and impact of our practice and why this intricate science should not be reduced to rote instructions.
