Also Yoga dates back to 5000 years ago,a time where other religions have not surfaced,including Islam. It all depends how you want yoga to work for you. Is it for sustaining good health? Then focus on that aspect of it. If you are prohibited from reaching enlightenment through different methods other than those prescribed by your religion,then don't go near it,i.e. dont use yoga to attain enlightenment that is contrary to your religious beliefs. Also i have not heard of anywhere in the world including India, that if you want to learn and practise Yoga, there is a pre-condition that you have to go through an indoctrination of Hindusim to initiate your yoga. <br />People tend to mix up some religious practices with yoga depending on where it is being practiced. Yoga in Japan may have incorporated Japanese traditions prior to the start of the yoga practice in a classroom of the Japanese, likewise in Tibet it could be different or in Cairo it could be different. However, there is no change in the yoga postures themselves,which are all the same. What i meant was that in Cairo, there may be a short recital of Koranic words before the yoga session starts and this is the general practice and tradition of Muslims. In Japan it could be different. Yoga itself should not be blamed on how it is practiced due to the the teacher or trainer in a class and also the religious background of the trainer.What i like in your blog is that you have given some good analytical points and tips how one should decide on selecting the yoga class or the yoga trainer if you have any doubts.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12596775848826317351noreply@blogger.com
