Frequently Asked Questions about Yoga

Question:

Question:

I am not Indian or Hindu, can I practice yoga with out if disturbing my spiritual or religious beliefs

Answer:

YES! Yoga has noting to do with religion... you can be Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Buddhist or Atheist.  Yoga can actually deepen your connection to God and make you a better "whatever" you are.   Yoga is a practice of drawing the senses inward and listening to the body.  Developing a calm non-reactive mind and allowing the spirit to guide the actions... not the actions guiding the spirit. Come to yoga with an open heart and allow the eyes to turn in to the soul.
