Yesterday on the 21st, was International yoga day.
Yoga has become popular all over the world due to the numerous health benefits which it has. However, you can say, that the traditional format was widely practiced in the Indian culture before it was even called Yoga.
Many people try to associate yoga with Indian culture and why there are many different versions of yoga when it comes to practicing it. However, the truth is that yoga is not bound by any religion, region or type of people.
On International yoga day people all over the world are practicing yoga. Such is the power of Yoga that all over the world thousands gathered at public gatherings in order to practice yoga.
- Yoga is more like a way of life rather than just a form of exercise. This is one of the main reasons why it has become so popular all over the world.
- In addition to that, yoga do not require you to spend a significant amount of money in order to practice. That is why it is more accessible to each and every person irrespective of the budget which you have.
- It can easily be practiced at home and that is why a lot of people have taken it in a big way. When you compare it with the other cost which is involved in exercising like going to the gym or buying the equipment, you would realize that yoga is comparatively much more affordable.
These are some of the main reasons why it has become so famous all over the world. It is the time that we understand the importance of yoga exercising rather than binding it to a certain religion we think about it as an exercise which is just to be practiced for your well-being.
The International yoga day is surely a step in the right direction in order to unify the entire world in order to practice yoga so that they are able to achieve better health for their body.
If the current few steps are anything to go by, you can be sure that in the future, yoga can unify a lot of people. Once people are able to recognize the benefits of yoga, they would surely accept it as as a regular procedure in order to keep their body healthy and in order to keep themselves entirely disease-free. That is when the real unification of people due to yoga would take place.
Yoga can't because of religion like you say it and that is sad. Maybe in the future when humans will get smarter it will who know but for now...

Happy yoga day!
I would say yoga is definitely associated with Indian culture, but it's not bound by it!
These days yoga is also associated with western culture because it's spreading so fast through the western world. Even here in Bulgaria and in other Eastern European countries yoga is coming in all shapes and colors.
The fact that yoga is a way of life, like a protocol, is the reason it has been practiced for thousands of years.
Western culture embraces it so much these days because the connection to the inner world that yoga promotes is what has been making people sick and depressed.
Inner peace is outer peace.
