In my thought modern yoga is full of changes and fully focused on mental health and physical health. Classical yoga was to be like sanyasi and leave everything and focus on yoga to extreme level.

SVYASA certified Yoga Trainer. Gopi Chand Badminton Academy Yoga Trainer

People are running behind the money and forgetting the basic need of life. Losing patience day by day, so the modern Yoga (like power Yoga, Iyengar yoga, Bikram yoga) concentrate more on fast bodyweight reduction. At the same time, ancient yoga helps to know the purpose of life and the goal of life.

CA turned yoga tutor teaching since last 10 years

Classical yoga is where the focus is on breath and controlling the mind. Modern yoga is more focused on asana and trying to do complicated postures with the aim to have a flexible body. Yoga is not about the body but the mind.
