Wow! You're a yoga teacher. You're welcome. You're multi talented definitely.
I'm not a yoga teacher but I studied it as a subject at my school, trained it in NCC (paramilitary training) camps.

Sadly, and perhaps explaining some poor mental or life-like experiences in recent months, I've fallen out of my practice. Things are coming back this year!

Yeah, life is what it is, it takes you down often. I'm glad you're coming back.

Vinyasa seems like the most famous in foreign countries, is it?

Pretty much yeah, I'd say the history of vinyasa is a western-fication of some Hatha/Ashtanga sequences—and much more playful and less strict.

Whatever gets people to doing some form of yoga :)

Yes. I agree. While the Indian texts describe the various aasanas be performed in a sequence which is often tiring for a beginner, this western-fication has made yoga popular.

To the people who migh not understand what we're talking about, here's a clue

The improvisations have in fact done more good than any harm to Yoga Practitioners.

My impression as well.

And there's tons of updating to the modern world as well, most obviously: having women practice

This is incredible! When I first had a look at it, I couldn't believe for ours is still very much male dominated country. Yoga is no different here, but statista says India's women doing more yoga. I can't believe it for I see men in yoga everywhere from schools to gardens to social media.
