Reclaiming Yoga
For Heart and Soul, Geeta Pendse meets women on personal missions to βreclaim yogaβ whilst balancing the demands of business with the spiritual roots of this ancient practise.
With a global market worth more than $100 billion dollars a year, yoga is a massive industry. With its origins in India, Yoga is often considered to be part of the Hindu tradition, as well as being influenced by other religions including Buddhism and Islam. Yet with modern studios and teachers offering a plethora of styles from fitness to beer yoga, has it become disconnected from its spiritual roots? And is the surge in social media trends diluting its authenticity?
For Heart and Soul, Geeta Pendse meets the women on personal missions to βreclaim yogaβ whilst balancing the demands of business with the spiritual roots of this ancient practise.
