Yoga is not a religion to me.
Yoga has brought me closer to myself. It's helped me realize the interconnectedness of the mind, body and spirit, in the Buddhist sense of the word.
I started practicing Yoga at about 18. I had a friend who was doing it and was incredibly disciplined and meditated all the time.
I really wanted to share with people the day-to-day joys that yoga can bring into one's life-not just the physical aspects.
Yoga has brought me to the part of religion I really like - the positive sides of religion, the parts we all share, rather than the things that create separation.
Yoga has reinforced and grounded my own spiritual beliefs.
Yoga is about compassion and generosity towards others. It means being mindful of the world around us.
A lot of people have questioned how yoga and their own spiritual beliefs can come together. Yoga actually pre-dates religion.
Yoga is so universal in its principles and so holistically beneficial, it is possible for any person, young or old, religious or agnostic, to embrace and enjoy a practice.
Yoga gave me the ability to calm down.
Love is connection with others. Union with another human being or living thing. That's also Yoga.
Yoga is an integral part of my daily routine. That definitely helps me approach all aspects of my life from a place of mindfulness and clarity, through the meditation that usually accompanies this practice.
Any spirituality can be enhanced with the practice or study of yoga.
Ayurveda is a sister philosophy to yoga. It is the science of life or longevity and it teaches about the power and the cycles of nature, as well as the elements.
