Does yoga and its theory contain pseudoscience?
Besides the religious elements of Hinduism and Brahmanism, the theoretical basis of yoga also includes Ayurveda, a traditional Indian medicine, which is similar to traditional Chinese medicine. It is also a system composed of a series of ancient and simple philosophical concepts. There are also five elements of harmony between man and nature, water, wind and fire, and the body is mapped to the universe (similar to China's five elements corresponding to viscera, seasons and seasons), human energy and energy channels (similar to China's qi). It is not science, it does not claim to be science, and it is not pseudoscience. According to most yoga instructors, practicing yoga can not only keep you in perfect shape, but also adjust your mood, become wise and enhance your self-confidence. This magical movement, which originated in India, has long been popular in European and American offices and has become an international movement with a large number of supporters including Indian Prime Minister Modi Laoxian and a famous luxury brand female CEO.
