Although Yoga has become very popular in West in india still most people dont have much knowledge of Yoga as poor indians cant spend much money on learning yoga as most courses even from Swami Ramdev charges money. Good news is that slowly slowly time is coming when yoga can be learned in school, colleges itself freely. Good thing is that Yoga is the one of the only things which can unite whole world and unite all cultures, religion, society. nations under one roof as it helps is physical, mental and spiritual health and well being.
