Gaining in popularity yoga at the same time is losing its authenticity by being oversimplified to physical culture. Every instructor attempts to introduce something of his own starting with changing names of asanas and ending with their wrong performance. There are a few followers of the original tradition, although, only those who got their knowledge from the universities in India are familiar with the real tradition. While training we all study ancient classic style of yoga the one which is described in Sanskrit sources and textbooks. It is only when they got the base teachers go out into the big world and found their own styles and schools, but the base is one. PIYF was established to deliver the most undistorted knowledge by giving it gradually and deliberately to someone who is ready to perceive.
