How foreigners are contributing towards yoga Over the past few decades yoga has seen many takers across the globe. Cutting through different societies, culture, profession, inclinations and attitude of people, yoga has been able to strike a common ground amidst diverse human backgrounds seen across continents. Most notably yoga has witnessed a uniform acceptance throughout the western world. What is that common ground of yoga which is welcomed so warmly outside the Indian shore? Is it values, philosophy or belief system of Yoga? In fact it is none of these. What the ancient yoga practice has found in common with the western world is its natural evolutionary and scientific approach towards leading a richer and fulfilling life. This scientific temperament of yoga is echoing with the rest of the world. http://aksharayogaschool.com/ The very first taste of yoga took the foreigners by awe as it filled the unnecessary gap between mind and body, satisfying some kind of yearning of the inner soul. This proposition of yoga to create a harmonious personality and calm composition, led to the spurt in yoga practice among foreign population, from where yoga gains global recognition for the first time. http://aksharayogaschool.com/hatha-yoga-ttc/ Since then various forms and types of yoga suiting to the needs and interest of people has come up in the western countries. All this in a way gave fresh lease of life to many away from stress and anxieties of daily life. With the growing credence and acceptability of yoga various standardization and training programs were developed in the west which greatly enriched the global yoga community.
