Traditional versus modern yoga - Shailendra Singh Negi, Vedic Yoga Centre

Modern yoga seems more about how to exercise the body, but we forget to exercise our mind. Traditionally, yoga is about integrating these two forces so that you can access the Source of the mind and body, the Atman - the soul. The yogic tradition sees our physical, mental and spiritual journey in different layers: there's a physical layer, behind which there is an energy layer, behind which there's a mental layer, and behind which there's a wisdom layer - the higher mind, the intuitive mind. The practice of yoga is about bringing alignment between your physical, energy and the mental layer. Once there's harmony between these three layers, you reach a stage of clarity so that vigyanamaya (the wisdom layer) guides you, and this leads to harmony between your outer and inner life, towards your essential peace and happiness - which is already WITHIN you, and is a basis of your healing and wellness. Gradually, you move towards the state of sunya - neutralness, inner silence, inner peace, inner joy ... and then towards the experience of your inherent nature. But these experiences are not just intellectual methods - they are actually living experiences. Your understanding is your inspiration, but you must seek the experience of it. So traditional yoga helps us develop this integration, this harmony by exercising our mind and our senses, so that we can experience our inner awakening and transform our life!
