Yoga .......?!


Question:

Yoga .......?

Does yoga have anything to do with a certain faith or religion?


Answers:

Thousands of years ago, it was developed with sort of a Hindu bend (because of the culture) but yoga is not a religion in itself. The eight limbs of yoga are ethical and healthful ways to improve your life - physically, mentally, spiritually. If you have any particular religion, it will be strengthened by yoga but if you don't, it will strengthen your philosophical or spiritual beliefs. (Trust me, there is no secret cult of yoga teachers trying to convert people to Hinduism or Buddhism. I forget where I read that crazy idea.)
