The Modern Yoga Issue: Evolution or Distortion?

In this episode, Swami Revatikaanta discusses a hot topic - what is yoga, really? The truth is, at present, it has become a very problematic topic. On the one hand it's often misconstrued in the West as just asana and primarily physical, stripping away its philosophical and theological roots. On the other hand, yoga is also construed as being undeniably theological by Abrahamic traditions, who are often quick to call it a demonic practice. So is it Hindu or not? What problems and missed opportunities does the first approach create? What education and ethical perspective is the second approach missing? Swami discusses all this and more, offering education, perspective and a way forward for anyone that wants to help the yoga community at large.
