If we are all born yogis, then why do we have to learn and practice Yoga?

Question - Gurudev, if we are all born yogis, then why do we have to learn and practice Yoga?

Gurudev Sri Sri - Well, that is because you lost touch with it somewhere along the way. Yes, everyone is a born yogi, but if you had retained that same child-like innocence as you grew up, then there would have been no need to learn and practice Yoga again. We have moved away from that child-like innocent nature and have collected so many impressions (samskaras) along the way. We have spoiled our balance and peace of mind. This is why we need to do Yoga and sadhana in order to keep our body, intellect, mind and emotions healthy and in balance.
