| | August 20194Like me, most of you must have watched the viral video depicting how a yoga practitioner is flexible enough to fold his hand backwards to remove a piece of paper from his back, but his body builder friend failed to do. That is Yoga ­ flexible, balanced and unison approach towards health. Yoga is not just about body, but its literal meaning is union of body and consciousness. Yoga has been a part and parcel of Indian tradition since time immemorial. But with much of western influence, it took a back seat. But only until our Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed in a speech at the UN General Assembly to dedicate a day to Yoga. And the world celebrated its first International Yoga Day, also referred as Yoga Day, on 21st July, 2015.Ever since, Yoga has only gained importance in all walks of life, even in the corporate world. Today, there are several forms of Yoga being practiced world over ­ Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Jivamukti Yoga, Yin Yoga, Hot Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, to some bizarre kinds of Yoga like Dog Yoga, Beer Yoga, Anti-Gravity Yoga and what not. Being flexible in nature, Yoga is seeing new heights each day. But this promising opportunity means more responsibility to fit and address today's myriad health issues ranging from lifestyle diseases to chronic ones. Hence, many Yoga institutes have designed courses that fit every person's health needs. According to a study conducted in 2017, almost half of the Yoga practitioners are of Indian origin ­ the birth page of Yoga. The market in India is growing tremendously and hence the institutes.
