Marishka: guess if the student decides to take a break from breathing, then no yoga on sunday :)
Siavash: Is yoga allowed?!! Hahahaha OMG
Annapoorna: Get up a little earlier than you normaly would so you don't miss church or yoga.And it has no religion or religious bounderies,if that's what your concern is. :)
Harte: Jesus never stopped you from the Path of Progress....
Move on....
Solvieg: ...you can go to yoga class held in a church.....there are some....
Chetankumar: It does NOT mean that Yoga was founded by Hindus,so Yoga is Hinduism.
Christians have invented and developed Medicines ,that are consumed by all ppl of religions on all 365 days.
All Hindus Love, Respect and Acknowledge the Gr8 soul of Jesus ...irrespective of days.
Yoga gives Harmony and Health,like wat Jesus and all religion convey.
U wud only hurt Jesus ,by not taking care of your mind and body ,as he loves n cares for U ,like a Divine Father for All.Chetankumar Potdar
Hey Siavash ,Please do not make fun of any Yoga student.I beg U.
Even a most spiritual person in da world is deeply attached to a Local Religion .
That very religion is the base source of his passion n faith.
Some religious ppl want to be Loyal to... their religion ,much like U and me.They simply do not know wat will hurt their Religion.That is so cute n innocent.
Is was easy to laugh on him/her, but must have unnecessarily hurt badly.
Mei: if ppl feel that practicing yoga goes against their religious beliefs then by all means DONT practice yoga. take up running or hiking instead, or pilates
Jubi: Jesus had meditation for 40 (fourty) days ......my dear...I am Christian ...I love doing stretching! just try to manage your time properly ....cheers! Lord Jesus is with us always!

its practices deepens one's faith n belief in whichever sect one belongs to. its all about being more aware n experience the divine forces.and the divinity belongs to each one irrespective of cast,creed n socie...ty.yes we can practice it on all days n in all the worship centres of all the religions.amen.
Sarala: why not? there is no bar for religion.yoga is unversal!
Pramila: Not all Christian believe this neutrality and some Church places/comunity are happy only if it is not called by the name 'yoga'.
Shirley: sure,yoga is life..
Katerina: Sure. Yoga is a divine revelation and not to any particular religion. Therefore, the more you practice, the better :)
Harte: what is prevalent is not Christianity its a spoiled Churchianity...Jesus was a soul of perfected Honor, rely on him not on church one day u will find salvation....... Temples and churches are merely secondary details..dogma nothing else....
