Ashtanga Yoga is not just a journey to gain control over the body but also to gain control over one's soul. Control over the mind is just a step on that path. When we do yoga, we also practice breathing along with it. "Do this asana while breathing." "Exhale from here." That means, along with the asanas, breathing is also practiced. That is, we concentrate our mind on breathing and for some moments we get control over our body and our mind and while doing 'Yogasana' our thoughts also stop. Body and mind both on the same level are there. The field of Yoga is so vast that it can connect person with person. What is the way to realize the Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam that our ancestors had envisioned? There is only one path, that path is – Ashtanga Yoga! Through yoga, the idea of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam can be completely realized.
