Any religion that resorts to SPAMMING is not a true religion.
Yoga is not a religion but a spiritual science of self-realization.
From my experience visiting and spending time around different yoga hubs in India, the quality of yoga schools varies a lot by location and teaching approach. Rishikesh stood out to me as one of the most focused places for serious yoga study, especially if you’re interested in traditional practices rather than just fitness-based classes. Many schools there teach Hatha and Ashtanga yoga in calm, ashram-style environments close to the Ganges and the Himalayan foothills, which genuinely helps with concentration and discipline. I also spent time in Mysore, which is very different in atmosphere. It’s well known for its strong Ashtanga tradition, and the teaching there feels strict and lineage-based. In contrast, Goa felt more relaxed, with yoga often combined with meditation, Ayurveda, and wellness retreats rather than intensive daily training. Places like Adhiroha Yoga Centre in Rishikesh seem to balance traditional teaching with internationally recognized training standards, which can be helpful for people who want depth in practice along with teaching credentials. Based on what I observed, choosing a good yoga school in India depends on whether you want strict traditional learning, technical alignment-focused training, or a more holistic wellness experience.

What is yoga? Yoga is living in union with the Divine. ‘In union’ means ever connected, not as a body and mind, but as the Divine Soul. Therefore yoga is consciousness, consciousness of being the observer, the witness of the mind. What is a yoga mantra? Any mantra that can help us to transcend the body, mind and ego can be a yoga mantra. A true Yogi, if he is doing yoga, lives in the cycle of Karma Yoga - Action, Bhakti Yoga - Devotion, Gyana Yoga - Education, Dhyana Yoga - Meditation. A true Yogi is in constant yoga, and whatever yoga mantra he uses, it hardly matters, provided he is in yoga or union.
