It is observed that a lot of humans think that yoga is about bending, holding, making, twisting, and stretching their bodies in the most complex-looking ways.
And hence, it is observed that a lot of yoga gurus, yoga teachers or yoga instructors or yog trainers or yoga coaches, yoga studios or yoga centres or yoga institutes or yoga schools or yoga ashrams are helping yoga aspirants to attain a particular body posture.
I am deeply saddened by this. Yoga teachers are supposed to give instructions and demonstrations and encourage yoga aspirants to understand their bodies. The emphasis of the yoga teacher should be to make the yoga aspirant graph the real and correct concept of yoga and yoga asana and to let the students practise the asana as per their bodies' capabilities.
I see a lot of well-established yoga teachers and social media yoga handles that show yoga aspirants being pulled, pushed, stretched, held, twisted, bent, and made to work out using props, in too-hot or too-cold environments.
Yoga is none of it. Yoga is not a circus or a competition. There is no need for yoga teachers to touch their students. The instructions should be very clear and the students try to follow the instructions of the guru and try his/her best to attain perfection.

ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः ।
सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः ।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु ।
मा कश्चित् दुःख भाग्भवेत् ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥
