Read about the contributions of five generations of Yogacharya Sundaram’s family to the worldwide growth of yoga.
School of Yoga is a Yoga resource which seeks to become a complete knowledge center for classical yoga, as was developed by the ancient seers of India – to be a tool for fitness, health, wellness and spiritual development.
Introduction to School of Yoga:
Yoga caught the imagination of the world in the 1960’s. It was fuelled by the great social changes unleashed by prosperity of the post-World War 2 boom. First, it started as an experiment by a few practitioners with meditation. Soon, many a school of yoga were started for teaching this aspect of Yoga.
Initially, early practitioners were adventurers venturing from the West to India to practice an exotic oriental practice. Then, when results became visible, more practitioners started getting interested in Yoga and its various techniques. Slowly, this trickle became a wave as more practitioners came to India for knowledge of Yoga. Simultaneously, Yoga teachers from India, started going to various parts of the world to teach Yoga and establish schools for teaching Yoga.
Yoga, as a subject has metamorphosed in the past 10 years. What was initially an exotic idea has transformed into an essential component of modern lifestyle. However, this has come at a cost – Yoga has moved away from its classical yoga base to many random variations, some that skirt the very definition of yoga.
School of Yoga seeks to bring focus of Yoga practice back to its ancient roots.
