At a time when yoga is widely disseminated as an aesthetic concept; sometimes flirting with the sexy, the competitive or the purely sporty, it is legitimate to wonder whether the very essence of this path to union is still preserved.

The difficulty does not necessarily lie in access to tools, as these are now as readily available as books in a library. Knowledge is ubiquitous, disseminated massively, and circulates across all networks.
This makes possible a wider transmission of what actually works, allowing more people to deepen their knowledge and experience of life.

However, over time I've observed that it's relatively easy to teach someone yoga, but extremely difficult to make them a true practitioner, someone for whom yoga becomes a path. The same applies to hatha yoga in Paris. 

The reasons are numerous: the time to invest regularly, personal discipline, daily and family constraints, budget, the often solitary nature of the journey, motivation…
But above all, there is the genuine, inner desire to fully embrace yoga, without compromise. To position oneself internally in a state of inner openness, trusting in that which is greater to guide us.

In both cases, whether the desire is internal or motivated by an inclination, everyone will find what they are looking for, and there is no judgment involved.

When the inner desire is genuine, when it's about learning more about oneself, about life, about existence in its visible and invisible forms, then that desire is heard. Synchronicities occur, allowing for a deeper understanding of the lived experience.

As the seasons pass, through states of grace as well as periods of abandonment, the practitioner brings the edges of his division closer together and reveals what has always dwelt within him.

This revelation first occurs through forms, then from within, reflected in the forms. The subsequent stages of the path then present themselves naturally, inviting constant evolution, despite any lingering doubts.

He validates what he has been through, regains humility and fluidity, like murky water that gradually regains its purity and vibration.

Existence then begins to reveal its secrets to him, closest to the heart, and to guide him towards what supports his evolution, both in forms and in interiority, in order to unite the two into one.
The practitioner is thus prompted by the forms to return to himself in order to understand, and drawn from within to feel that the source he seeks is already within him.

He then plays in both realms. This interplay between the world of form and that of spirituality makes yoga a path he will never leave. He knows that the key lies within him, and that through matter he continues this same work of revelation. The path becomes unified: everything is interiority, manifested in different forms.
He then understands that the word "Yoga" has never been about postures or breathing, but rather about the union of poles and deep embodiment, in all planes of existence.

Conversely, when desire is not genuine but is "available", it leads to following forms that give the illusion of the desired depth, while they are often based on a societal model that values status more than experience.

This leads to practitioners absorbed by their own image, more concerned with consolidating their individuality than with genuine inner fluidity. They then choose imitation and superficial belonging, rather than honestly listening to the discomfort that arises from what is not yet embodied.

Being a yogi in the eyes of others before even walking the path of this inner union ( and without any real disinterest in this status) is a very widespread situation today.
The 21st century is a machine of acceleration, power, and potential. It pushes everyone to revisit their achievements and conform to the trends of the time.

However, this era values technology and appearance above all else. Thus, what pertains to the source, essence, and depth of ancient knowledge is often distorted and instrumentalized for its status-related and narcissistic aspects.

The goal and the path are no longer approached with the awareness, patience, and understanding necessary for true fulfillment.
The result must be quick, immediate, and measurable. It must be achieved rapidly and produce equally fleeting effects.

But then, where does yoga fit into all of this? What about Sadhguru's Isha Hatha Yoga?

Like all truly profound ancient knowledge, yoga remains relevant today. It speaks and works just as well as it did yesterday. And that's the starting point.

What has worked for millennia works because this knowledge encompasses, in its entirety, the functioning of the human system in relation to its surroundings.

And since we are still here, humans among humans; this knowledge is as effective today as it was yesterday, and everywhere. Hence the yoga retreats in Brittany or Egypt for an even more complete immersion.

Before embarking on a yogic path, it is therefore essential to ask oneself certain questions and to be honest with one's feelings:

• What am I really looking for through the tools of yoga?
• How much time am I willing to invest daily or weekly?
• Do I want to practice regularly in a group, or become independent through comprehensive practice?
• Am I ready to undergo a profound transformation?
• Is my commitment internal and sincere, or motivated by status?
• Do I have any questions before I start? Why not contact the teacher first?

These questions are fundamental for anyone wishing to embark on the path of yoga.

Today we are fortunate that yoga is accessible everywhere.
However, learning in an original and authentic way, while placing oneself internally in a space of openness and deep learning, remains rare.

It is important to remember that learning is simple, anyone can pay for a course; but positioning oneself internally in the process is a completely different matter.

Over time, what will make the difference between a vibrant path of learning and the mere construction of a yogic status is the practitioner's inner state, in their practice as in their life. First-hand experience.

If life is absolute and total, then the approach must also be so.
Everything works. Everything is in its place.
