In America, Yoga has turned into something entirely different than the original I believe. Yoga is not something that keeps you fit. It may tone some mussels, but it's not going to help you lose those 10 pounds you're trying to lose. I like yoga, believe me. But yoga is not a sport or really exercise. It's something spiritual and relaxing. When I do yoga, it's just me trying to free my mind and trying to relax.
Yoga has turned into something else, as you can see...
So, I believe that yoga should be something that you do do calm yourself, and be more of a spiritual thing. Not a so-called sport.
I like yoga, but I'm so horrible at keeping it up. I should at least try meditation because I keep having panic attacks =S. I think the direction has gone is more for money value as it is now more appealing, sometimes I just hate the way money ruins things.

Exactly. Like Holidays have turned into such a commercial thing. I mean, it used to be about religious values. But now, people just care about getting presents under the tree. It's such b.s.
ReplyDeleteI love yoga, not because it tones me or helps me to lose weight, but because it's so pure and refreshing. When I do yoga relaxation I feel like I'm melting into the floor and everything else just disappears. It's the closest to nonexistance that I'll ever get.
ReplyDeleteAnd I adore that song you posted, Audrey, you're so talented.
It feels weird to treat yoga as a sport. How? I do it because my muscles love me for it.
