I think overall the majority of people who are practicing it as a subject are following the right line. For the aberration, don't blame yoga or the whole community of yogis

I don't stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around.

Any action done with beauty and purity, and in complete harmony of body, mind and soul, is Art.

Why should you practice Yoga? To kindle the divine fire within yourself. Everyone has a dormant spark of divinity in him which has to be fanned into flame.

When stability becomes a habit, maturity and clarity follow.

You know the known, so go a little into the unknown. The mind that is caught up in the known - extended a little beyond reason. The moment you go beyond , you move in the soul. Releasing the bondage of your mind to extend further, reach the unknown a little more. The further you go, you realize that the known is limited and the unknown is vast.

It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity.
