Is Yoga a spiritual practice or an exercise?
Yoga is a practice that can not be explained, but instead is a practice that needs to be experienced. If you think about it life it's self is something that can not be explained and can only be experienced. Just think about your life and how hard it can be to describe any experience that happened to you with someone who has not experienced that. They will just not be able to understand you, but if you have the same conversation with someone who has had the same experience then they understand and you can have a connection with then through your shared experience as well as a conversation.
Yoga, if practice correctly can be the most amazing experience because you are able to experience a part of your true self that can not be touch through any other means. Unfortunately in most place where Yoga is taught and practiced, it is done incorrectly and in my option is a sad joke. It is said that most Yoga teacher do not even know the amazing power of this practice.
One of the biggest issues is with the so called teacher training programs. There are to many programs out there that allow anyone over the course of a weekend to become a certified teacher of Yoga. The biggest fraud are the online teacher training programs which are the most disappointing joke which allow anyone to be certified to teach and need to be stopped.
Then there is the Yoga Alliance which requires two hundred hours of in person training which is better then the two options above but once again is a joke. For proper training there needs to be six months of in person training as well as years of personal practice.
