(UNI)Back in 2000, I was grieving the sudden death of my mother from rare cancer, adjusting to moving across the country from New York to San Francisco. During that time, I had no permanent job or resources and dealt with other crises that lead to my physical, emotional, and spiritual breakdown. I decided to try yoga as a stress management strategy. I practiced alone in my apartment because I didn’t have the money to go to a studio and didn’t want to expose my broken self to others. Slowly I realized and discovered that yoga was much more than physical poses.
At a certain point, I became confused because I didn’t understand its philosophical or spiritual components very well. Through watching videos, reading books, and other literature, I learned the different ways to practice that would work for me. I’m pretty stubborn, so I decided to do my own practice and customize it to fit my physical and financial limitations. It’s been more than a decade, and I still consider myself to be in the beginning phases of my yoga exploration as an integral part of my life. As practiced in the western world, I have also learned that yoga has taken in few meandering turns away from TRUTH.
I want to prevent others from feeling the discouragement I felt at times by exposing the myths and propaganda perpetrated by the smog and industries with over-business-fied yoga. Many well-meaning practitioners earnestly believe these myths and perpetuate them, further exacerbating the issue. You may have completely different reasons and desires to explore yoga, and everyone’s path is individual. But if any of the myths below dissuaded you in the past, perhaps you can now return to what is your rightful place in the world of yoga.
