More than 20 million people practice yoga in America. For most of these people, yoga means Asana, the physical postures. Only a small percentage of yoga practitioners incorporate other aspects of yoga into their practice and lifestyle, namely: meditation, breath-work, morals and disciplines. It is good that so many people have a physical asana practice, yoga asanas (postures) do offer many health benefits. However, if these people expand their practice even marginally by embracing other limbs of yoga, they would benefit exponentially in all walks of life. A comprehensive yoga practice that includes all limbs of yoga builds character, discipline, an appreciation for the eco-system and the resolve to face challenges more gracefully.
There is no better time than now to embrace the full promise of yoga. Most of the problems one faces in this country today are due to a lack of discipline, morals and holistic view of life. To name a few: spending beyond one's means, suffering from illnesses due to poor diet and lifestyle choices, spending money on wars instead of investing that money in social services and destroying the environment for short term benefits. The foundation of this country is crumbling and it is time for a fundamental change in the way we think and live.
An integrated yoga practice can solve these problems and offer the transformation that is needed today. It is time for everybody to operate in a higher state of consciousness. Yoga, if embraced in its entirety, can take one to that higher state. Yoga Maya Movie offers some thought provoking conversations about how one can achieve a higher state of consciousness and deepen one's spiritual practice.
