I love yoga too but only do it about once a week. I have done yoga off and on for about 5 years. I just do it for fitness and to relax every once in a while. Eventually, I am going to get myself into a class. I was going to take a yoga class at the community college but I took karate instead. Also, whenever I leave my yoga mat out and my boyfriend sees it he makes fun of me. He says "what is that thing? a yoga mat?" only its in a pessimistic kind of tone.

Also, Yoga is one of the six philosopies, Shad Darshan, in Ayurveda. Its founder is Patanjali. I havn't writen anymore in my Ayurveda post. I guess I should get to it eventually.

Ah, yoga. We mustn't forget that only a good diet AND excersize is the key to good health!

What?! Your parents are nuts.

I do Yoga for spiritual reasons, I've only just started about 5 weeks ago.

One person I was talking to online told me that Yoga and meditation were bad because it allows demons and other evil spirits to enter your mind. That is the only "Christian" explanation I have gotten.

Oh Christianity...
People should realize that the majority of people who practice yoga in the Western world do it primarily as a form of excercise.

You don't want to give money to Wal Mart, do you? Of course, you may live in one of those places where they're the only game in town.

You can actually find many free resources for yoga on the net.

There is no way your parents can prevent you from practicing yoga. I can't possibly imagine ANY reason why they'd be against it. Well, I can, but I won't speculate on the written page.

EDIT: It would seem others already did so, and basically are following the same lines of thought I was...

man.. that reminds me of this one time that i was in the sixth grade. two of my friends and i threw in on a yoga book and we got it out during a sleepover we were having and my friend's step dad saw it and took it from us. his exact words: "oh yeah, let's all burn incense and do yoga and smoke pot!" then he made us go to church the next morning. he was a little bit psycho.

I just got a new yoga book. biggrin It's Kripalu Yoga: A Guide to Practice On and Off the Mat, by Richards Faulds. It has some pretty good illustraitions, they are not in color though. Its 418 pages of everything about the practice. I can't wait to get started.
