Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yoga Requires Meditation for Fullness

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar explains that yoga's essence is often diluted to just physical exercise.

He emphasizes that true yoga includes meditation, leading to inner peace.

He clarifies that meditation isn't about emptying the mind but relaxing it.

Shankar suggests starting with breathing exercises to ease into meditation, which scientifically reduces stress and anxiety.

He mentions the growth of yoga's popularity, supported by the Indian government's promotion, and offers guided meditations.
