Purpose Of Yoga Education

When the knowledge is passed through generations the original thought of Yogi Pathanjali distorted and becomes enveloped in superstitions and misconceptions. Anyone who wants to represent yoga as a teacher or yoga educator must undergo a deep and intensive study of yoga. It is relevant for several reasons, but the following three are more important.
1. It is the original text explaining Patanjali’s yoga sutras.
2. It is not just set of physical postures but a way of holistic living. In today’s market, most agencies teach yoga as an exercise, rather than as a lifestyle. Many students get misguided that if they did these exercises, their life would suddenly improve. But this is not the case. People practiced yoga     for long time, yet remain unhappy or unsatisfied with their life. When they start using Pathanjali         teaching as a guide, they will understand that yoga includes other things and will start                          changing their lifestyle, diet, and attitudes.
3. Yoga sutra teaches that yoga is a spiritual discipline, not a materialistic one. In today’s life we are       diversified ourselves from the spiritual side of the life and have given way too much importance to     materialism. Yoga education can start bringing together for the spiritual life as well as the material     world that we are used to.
4. The goal of yoga education is to sustain 1200+ years’ old tradition for the next 1200 years.    

    Therefore, there is a need to create original concept of Yoga and it's importance through Yoga          education.
