Modern yoga masters.... present us with a whole galaxy of different poses,... or asanas... the modern  Bible of asana practice.... most yoga students accept it as an faith.... that these poses have been practiced....in more or less this form...for centuries..... fold into Downward-Facing Dog...., arch into Upward Bow,... or spiral into a spinal twist.... and believe that  are molding the bodies... into archetypal shapes ...whose precise effect... on the body, mind, and nervous system... has been charted over generations of practice..... most extreme form,... homage to this tradition  create  yoga fundamentalists....this kind of yogis .... believe the asanas were channeled directly from God.... and passed down through their particular lineage.... any deviation from their version of yoga gospel..... will result in excommunication....these techniques are  employed in one distinct type of Yoga.....,

 

but they do not form an integral part of the most essential type..... Physical posture serve at best as an auxiliary,... or a minor form of Yoga....  among the many misconceptions that abound about Yoga...., this one is due to certain pretensions... which have been made by.... fake Yogins.... anything that good is... all too easily corrupted by wrong people.....behind the  pertaining to Yoga there lies a selfish motive.....  It will not be out of place,.... therefore,.... to tell  frankly and clearly..... that not all that has been put across as Yoga is really Yoga......created from news-people ....who, with a strong preference for the sensational and the fantastic...., have managed to create the fantastic idea....

if people call themselves Yogins.... and then explain their Yoga ...by exhibiting any of these unusual feats,.... then they are misusing the term Yoga..... Yoga is not  self-hypnosis....  monotonous performance .....
