Why „reclaim“?
Yoga is a path of radical self-inquiry and transformation to become a better person. The goal is to reduce suffering and make the world a better place, by reducing selfishness, harm and greed. Any practice born from this intention is Yoga.
Ignorance (avidya) is the cause.
Yoga Sutra II.24
By looking at today’s Yoga market, we believe that it has not only failed to fulfill this promise, but has even done more harm than good to the planet. The knowledge was lost, as it increasingly became a commodity driven by profit, which inherently contradicts what yoga is truly about – altruism.
The suffering that has not yet come is to be avoided.
Yoga Sutra II.16
