Yoga in its original essence is a 24-hour lifestyle rooted in Yama (moral restraints) and Niyama (observances)—truthfulness, non-violence, contentment, austerity, and devotion. It is meant to be lived, not just performed.
For example- In a tribal village in Odisha, elders still teach children to begin the day with Surya Namaskar, followed by silent prayer and deep breathing near rivers. Here, Yoga is embedded in life, untouched by modern distractions.
Compare that with a high-end Delhi yoga class where teenagers attend to “stretch” before clubbing, and teachers seldom mention pranayama or dhyana.
