THE WAY OF THE YOGI

The Way of the Yogi is one of three 'traditonal' or 'classical' ways that people can follow if they know about such and this also,in most cases, requires a guide, a teacher, a mentor, or someone who has been on the Path. Unfortunately, the many well-intentioned instructors found in contemporary society and especially in 'Western' Cultures have no grounding in the Tradtional-Classical writers and literature of Yoga and do not know Sanskrit or other Asian languages necessary for reading things. Of course, many excellent translations in various languages do exist,but trying to learn from writings alone has many pitfalls,though no one should be discouraged in attempting to learn and experiment but a certain caution is necessary and motivations of people who try such on their own often lags and fades and nothing is accomplished, despite the notion that 'SOME YOGA IS BETTER THAN NO YOGA".
