Re: Anybody into yoga?

do not get into yoga
yoga is haram
it is a dirty hindu custom
workout of the infidels

namaz is the only halal workout

Re: Anybody into yoga?

What about aerobics, in the privacy of your home? Is that haraam too?

Re: Anybody into yoga?

I was joking. I don't give a F about what some random dude ("scholars") say is haram or halal. I do what I want !

Yoga is awesome. Amazing results.

Re: Anybody into yoga?

:smack:

Exercise is not haraam unless some basic Islamic beliefs are being ignored/violated. The Prophet (pbuh) and his companions swam and played other sports in order to remain physically fit.

Anyway, thanks.

I hear some specific breathing exercises are very benefical for overall health.

Re: Anybody into yoga?

Most Yoga exercises do have Hindu religious overtones to it. The names, the motions etc. An expert could tell you better. Of course I would tell you to not give a F and do what you want since I am not religious.

Re: Anybody into yoga?

hey if i do yoga i dont turn into a Hindu (with all respect to the other religions tho)...
like if i eat African food it dont mean i'm African...

yoga has very good breathing exercises...yes they talk about chakra's and karma and stuff like that but the essential breathing excercises and being one with your body and mind have nothing to do with religion but just with being aware of yourself...inside (mentally) out (phisically).
no harm in trying...just see for yourself...if ur not happy u can always leave it...

Re: Anybody into yoga?

I agree. And while doing yoga, you don't have to chant any mantras or idol worship. The exercise part of it is scientific and beneficial.

Re: Anybody into yoga?

just because yoga has "Aasans" that are named in hindi language, does not make them hindu worship rituals ..

I am not sure how Yoga can be considered hindu religious practice

Re: Anybody into yoga?

There's one that a friend of mine swears by.. standing outside during early morning, taking in fresh air and holding it in for a few seconds before exhaling. She says it calms her down, relieves stresses and her famiy practices it every morning.

Re: Anybody into yoga?

Calm down folks. I was simply mocking some of the mullahs out there who seriously discourage Yoga because of its Hindu roots.

Re: Anybody into yoga?
