How to teach Yoga in Daily Life?
Yoga must progress step by step from physical practice to spiritual understanding. Practicing only physical movement is insufficient, yet without movement, health suffers. Beginners should not be mixed with advanced students, just as kindergarten is separate from primary school. A structured, step-by-step system is essential. Yoga leads to good health, relaxation, and meditation, but then it must address spirituality. Spirituality itself has different paths and can become mixed with cultural religion, leading to conflict. True spirituality is humble and peaceful, not fighting. Dietary discipline like avoiding meat and alcohol is integral to the practice, not to be omitted to attract students. A holistic path leads from body to spirit.
"Practicing only physical movement is not enough. But also, without movements of the body is also not good."
"When I came to Europe, I was in Austria. And I was... Everybody, I said, 'You have to, don't eat meat and this.'"
