Yoga a fad?




We know how this discipline can be good on the physical, psychological, mental and emotional, so everyone can benefit, especially as the pace and quality of life can be good despite appearances stressful.

Their influence is great on everyone and not just their fans. The West works so with images, idols (actors, singers, etc.)! Despite filling the churches ... we admire the stars of Hollywood ... and even the "stars academicians" unknown yesterday but become in a few weeks, judging by the ratings and all that surrounding national heroes.

I do not listen very often on television but sometimes I came across an ad for small crackers which featured a young woman going to her yoga classes! These pictures are much exploited in the marketing field. This drink, as financial product, such as brand of cereal or yogurt are very Zen, balanced, healthy ... and we offer for sale beautiful women in postures of Yoga, Meditation. The advertisement ends like a subliminal message to get you to buy this product ... but in my opinion to insidiously encourage you to practice Yoga!

Wonderful.... Although Yoga is not competitive, we should not be trying to put performing and compare these games very debatable dimension inducing performance in front of the machine itself actually transmit nevertheless real and true foundations of this ancient art. Some Western and Indian purists surely tearing your hair (if they have!) And I find it very unfortunate for them that they are unable to accept with appreciation, compassion and detachment that yoga was popularized more and more.

They are also not all persons who meet the current criteria of beauty, slim and ultra-fitness physically find themselves faced with this machine and it is at least had the merit of popularizing a greater number of postures, techniques and bases valid and real as can be Yoga.

Of course someone who is curious intrigued and will go any way interested in finding a course, other references to pursue this path if it feels all potentials benefits of such a practice on a regular basis. Children learn through play and imitation, so why would these games do they not understand the youth and adults while the benefits of this ancient art?

I do not see here, for my part, no threat or no sacrilege but a change with the times on the ways and needs to integrate yoga into our lives.
