When I asked my yoga teacher and grandmaster Horst Weiland (*+*) what yoga was, he simply replied, "For example, this piece of chalk," and held out a white piece of chalk.
For novices, yoga is a three-part path to realising one's personal life plan. This tripartite division distinguishes between the physical, mental, and spiritual realms. Within these three paths, there are various paths that can be followed.
But all paths have one ultimate goal: to live one's own life and gain experience. All work always begins with physical yoga, Hatha Yoga. The body is trained to experience the further levels, the mental and spiritual realms.
We find yoga offerings ranging from total renunciation to naked and sweaty yoga. People practice various yoga styles from India to California, from Berlin to Tasmania. I have personally studied Hatha Yoga, Euro Yoga according to Horst Weiland, and Tantra Yoga in particular. I also completed my master's degree in Tantra Yoga in 1996 in Utrecht, Netherlands. From my many international influences and teachings, I then developed the TerLiMa Yoga.
