Questions like these don’t weaken yoga; they strengthen its future, especially when answered by well-trained Indian professionals who can present yoga with depth, clarity, and cultural integrity. Yoga is not overrated. What is overrated is a narrow, commercial version of it. Such questions actually serve an important purpose. They push Indian yoga professionals to reassert authenticity, explain yoga beyond postures, and reconnect it with its philosophical, therapeutic, and spiritual foundations. Healthy skepticism forces a shift from marketing-driven yoga to knowledge-driven yoga.
