Fundamentally there is a misunderstanding among humans that "Hiduism" is a religion . Let me explain categorically it is not but it is only a way of life . It is so ancient as evolution of man itself as he started interacting with nature like fire . It got evolved as evolution got evolved . Yoga was just a practice that was initiated by great learned people and it was a way of toning and tuning the human body which they basically considered as a vehicle which they needed to use to understand self and the creator in a best possible way . It came about understanding the various chakras in the human body and how each asana or stretches coupled with deep breathing ( Prana ) that raised not just the mental awareness but the whole physical body itself gets toned to work to its peak efficiency. This can be practised by any one and it is said that it is the shortest and best way to become one with the creator himself, which people can call of any name they wish and are comfortable with be it Allah ,Jesus or even Eashwara or Ra. But yoga is best learnt from a guru in parampara way and I for one would not recommend self learning or through television / book . Wrong way of doing Asana can lead to negative effects. I speak from a state of awareness after I statyed practicing Yoga for one and a half years and I am just an apprentice so to say . I hope I have answered the query to the satisfaction the Enquirer. I.must add that when one becomes an Enquirer they have become an inward traveller spiritually. Best of luck .
