Yoga old and modern

In general, the perception of yoga has changed dramatically. When we compare the traditional yoga of the ancients with the modern version of today, we can see if there is indeed a change.

In most yoga courses, articles, books, blogs, and other media sources, we can observe how they differ from the ancient traditions.

These modern practices of close observation are very different from ancient practices.

Some purists at the time thought modern yoga was so different from traditional yoga that they called modern yoga "non-yoga."

To become a diamond miner,

Take care of your choices and shovel.

To be your spiritual self miner,

Take care of your body, breathing and mind.

But don't confuse tools and goals.

Historically, yoga is taut, and there are subtle differences between teachers in the elderly.

The principle of this practice is usually conveyed through religious teaching, where short instructions are verbally expanded.

For example, in ancient times, the outline of yoga was found in 196 yoga scriptures, which were then discussed and elaborated by the teacher and the students.

In addition, the deep meaning of the Oman spell, for example, the detailed Upanishad, and verbally stated.

This article does not claim that there is a universal contemporary yoga... there are many different ways.

However, the overall view of yoga has undergone an overall transformation, which has proven to be worthy of careful study.

Therefore, yoga in many ancient traditional practices seems to have been damaged for centuries.

We may argue that these inevitable changes are just a reflection of how yoga can adapt to changes in time.

Ancient or other traditional yoga digs deep religious roots through physical and high meditation practice.

The purpose of traditional yoga is to achieve the liberation of Moksha, freedom from reincarnation and recognition of one's own divinity.

As we have seen, traditional yoga practices are different from most popular modern styles.

You can see an example of this when looking at jnana yoga without any body posture. Rather than emphasizing the path of rational self-exploration, it seeks a true enlightenment of one's true nature.

When using the word yoga, many of us would think of bending into different poses.

In fact, these poses, also known as "somas", are traditionally not part of yoga until 2200 years ago when someone called Pontanjali to write a yoga scripture.

Pontanjali created a posture that trains the body and consciously.

Ancient yoga practitioners see the asana as a small but usable part of the overall exercise.

Traditional yoga styles are not as popular as modern yoga in Western culture, but many aspects are integrated into today's yoga style.

Having said that, most of today's yoga studios are now based on a variety of body postures/styles.

Decompression yoga has become a popular activity in Western culture because of its many benefits including increased flexibility.

In addition, depending on the style of yoga, a typical course may focus on physical health or may focus on meditation using some ancient background.

Modern yoga does not expect the practitioner to aim at any kind of spiritual enlightenment. However, it can be a catalyst for people to achieve enlightenment.
