Graham Burns discusses what the State of Yoga is

This clip is taken from a Yogacampus panel discussion recorded in October 2025: The State of Yoga: A Living Tradition The State of Yoga: A Living Tradition This self-paced course asks the question 'What is the state of yoga?', exploring it through a variety of perspectives: philosophic, scientific, pedagogic, and through our own practice. A living tradition Use the teaching skills you already have, placing them in context of the state of yoga. The Pātañjalayogaśāstra (probably around 400 CE) clearly defines yoga first as a state to be aspired to, before introducing methods to achieve that state. Yoga is the residue of the practices, not only the practices themselves. Being a yoga teacher is about teaching in a way that creates the conditions to allow yoga to happen. We want to engage in a conversation about the ways in which integration of practices creates the conditions to allow the state of yoga to occur. In many entry level yoga training courses, the questions of what yoga is, and the precise philosophical ideas which underpin it, are addressed through the piecemeal study of extracts from a small number of selected textual sources. In this course we move beyond this compartmentalised approach to consider through a lens of integration. What is the state of yoga? What are the means of attaining this state? The state of yoga will also be explored in relation to its physical and mental health benefits, from the perspective of a contemporary scientific approach. The concept will also be examined in relation to our own practice and teaching others. We have gathered together a world-class faculty that form an outstanding team of international teachers who are experts in their field. Why these teachers? This is a collective of educators who, with their own individual talents and specialist skills, inspire us to explore the deep wisdom of our inner selves. How? By sharing their understanding in a way that helps us to recognise the state of yoga and how that state inspires us to be in the world. What will I learn? (Learning Objectives) 1. Yoga is not what I do but what I am 2. How does the state of yoga affect emotional and physical well-being? 3. How do I create the conditions for state of yoga in my practice and teaching?
