Interview With Sujata Singh

Yoga word itself means union- ‘union of body and mind, Some says union of soul and spirit.

- Pitanjal Datta

What would be your definition for YOGA?

Ans) If you ask me what is yoga- yoga is union of consciousness and unconsciousness, in fact yoga is way of living where we start our journey with simple joints movements, breathing, yoga postures and pranayama and finally leads to meditation.

According to my point of view Yoga is a kind of system where one follows physical asana with deep breathing, which create awareness about how to endure strength in your body and control over mind which gives channelize towards meditation.

We all are moving towards materialistic goals. While achieving these gaols some where we are ignoring ourselves. Nobody is working on ‘who I am’Practicing . yoga gives sense towards self.

Are there any pre requisites in connection to body types that are required to start YOGA or anyone with any body type can enrol with you for doing YOGA?

Ans) As per as my teaching experience you don’t need any specific body type for yoga, but all you need is a yoga expert who can understand your body type.For instance if your body is stiff your yoga teacher can guide you proper way to make it flexible and subtle. One can start with simple joint exercises of yoga and move up to higher level of yoga practices by adopting yoga in life as routine.

There is a saying that YOGA helps curing diseases and certain ailments? How far do you believe in this?

Ans) Of course yoga can cure many diseases and ailments whether it’s physical or psychological.

In my eight years journey of teaching yoga I met many kind of patients like diabetic, asthmatic, heart patients, depressed mental patients.
