According to Osho, unlike traditional, faith-based yoga devised for ancient, unquestioning minds, his approach is tailored to the modern, doubting psyche: experimental, scientific and psychological rather than religious, beginning with catharsis to release repressions created by moral and rational suppression. Only after this cleansing does meditation proceed, enabling authentic transformation—not mere calm or social adjustment—while remaining individualized to the seeker’s unique mind.
Osho updates yoga for today’s skeptical, tense people by first letting you clean out old emotions, then guiding you into real meditation.
