The asanas are a good gateway drug, if the teacher constantly reinforces the student to listen to what their body is saying and understand it better. It leads to realizations of a deeper sense of self, and that awakening can lead to interest in the other aspects of yoga.

“that awakening can lead to interest in the other aspects of yoga.”

The problem is that the number of teachers who have knowledge of these aspects is very small. Close to zero from my observations.
