Welcome to Ecolife, Yoga, in its origin, was a sacred discipline practiced by ancient yogis of India with the supreme aim of spiritual illumination and realization of truth. Those practices were designed for ascetics who lived a life of discipline, simplicity, and deep inward focus. In today’s world, however, the purpose of yoga has naturally evolved. Modern practitioners seek health, balance, and vitality without disrupting their busy personal and professional lives. Unfortunately, many contemporary yoga schools continue to offer practices rooted in intense spiritual disciplines that may not be necessary—and can sometimes be unsuitable—for long-term wellbeing in a modern lifestyle.
