Zaryanshah Once again you missed the point.
The yoga workout that I do, has NO mention of religion, no mention of faith, no mention of it's origins, no mentions of words belonging to different cultures or faiths.
ALL it is, is a series of stretches, poses, meditation, bodily workouts, with a name called 'yoga'.
Take the name away and all the fears of it being un-Islamic go, as far as what actually goes on, nothing there conflicts with my faith at all.
Let me tell you a little story. back a while ago, I was in London, doing my grocery shopping, I went to halal meat store and I was waiting for my order, there were a few men, shop workers and others standing around too. One of them was talking about Birthdays, and how it's wrong to celebrate them. How he considers it haraam, says it's a waste of time. A western invention.
Usually I let this sort of thing pass, I usually ignore and carry on. But this guy wouldn't stop, so I told him, I said that I saw nothing wrong in celebrating the birthday of a loved one for whatever sentimental reason, if not for the smile and happiness of the person who's birthday is being celebrated, what other reason?? I also told him that he lives here in a multi-faith and multi-cultural society and he'd better grow some thick skin. But then he started talking religion, claiming that it was a waste of time and wrong, and that Islam doesn't teach such things. Now this is when we asked him what about the Prophet (PBUH's) birthday, we celebrate it right? We love him. Though we don't call it a birthday, we call it Eid Milad un Nabi.
Then I left, and so did the other guy, I saw him leaving, and this wonderful pious Muslim lecturing others in all his eternal wisdom had his car parked in the disabled parking area. Moral of the story, religion can be down to interpretation, one's faith must be strong, this man was right in saying the partying culture with Birthdays is haraam, but that doesn't mean all similar celebrations are wrong.
Now, I read through the guidance you posted, but it is all written under the pretext that the type of yoga done is in line with the traditional sense with it's religious and cultural aspects. If you don't want to do yoga or denounce it in that form then fair enough, that's your personal choice. I see nothing wrong in it.
