When most people hear the word Yoga, they imagine stretching routines, fitness classes, or complex postures shared on social media. But is that really what Yoga is?
In this episode of Natha Transmissions – Authentic Hatha Science, we explore how the modern image of Yoga became so strongly associated with physical exercise, and how this differs from the understanding preserved in traditional lineages.
Drawing from the teachings of the Natha Sampradaya and classical yogic scriptures, this conversation examines what Yoga originally meant to the yogis of ancient India, how knowledge was transmitted through master-disciple lineages, and why postures were never intended to be the central goal of the practice.
If Yoga was never meant to be just physical exercise, then what was its real purpose?
In this episode, we return to the traditional sources to examine that question carefully.
