Yoga is an ancient system for mastering the mind and body, originally designed to lead individuals toward self-realization and liberation. Far beyond just physical postures, it offers a complete path to high performance through discipline, breath control, mental focus, and emotional resilience. Rooted in the Vedas and refined in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, yoga's Eight Limbs provide a timeless framework for achieving excellence in any field—from athletics to the arts to personal development.

Martial arts and yoga share a profound lineage rooted in discipline, awareness, and spiritual presence. Originally developed to prepare warriors for battle, yoga teaches practitioners to act with full physical engagement while remaining anchored in the witnessing self. Just as martial arts require focused discipline, true yoga practice goes beyond postures—it's about embodying consciousness. By honoring the "yoke" that unites body, mind, and spirit, we rediscover the deeper purpose of both arts in modern practice.

Despite the controversies, this practice remains a powerful, structured system rooted in Bishnu Charan Ghosh’s teachings. While some rebrand it as hot yoga, the name "Bikram Yoga" preserves its unique identity and proven benefits.

Drishti in yoga is more than just a point to stare at—it's a soft, effortless gaze that draws the practitioner into the present moment. Often misunderstood as a sharp focus, true Drishti is mindless and gentle, guiding awareness inward rather than straining outward. Alongside conscious breath, it serves as a tool to cultivate presence, balance, and inner stillness. Whether in Warrior III or simply seated in meditation, Drishti invites the yogi to remain anchored—not just in body, but in spirit.
