Practice of yoga was misunderstood and misrepresented since time immemorial. The practice that should bring in both spiritual and mental bliss is reduced to mere exercise to achieve physical wellness. The actual purpose of Yoga is to attain self control and peace with self, which will ultimately lead to bliss.

The Physical wellness is the by product of Yoga practice and practitioner need not do anything
