Are there any halachic concerns one should know about in practicing Yoga?
It seems that some Muslims in Malaysia have the same question. See here:

Of course, in this case, it seems that the issue cannot only be considered from a religious standpoint, but a political one as well. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
I would like to post some thoughts and opinions as per the Jewish view on practicing Yoga, but would like to hear your thoughts first.
Are you a religious Jew? Do you practice Yoga? Do you have any concerns about halachic issues involved in practicing Yoga? All of the above?
Post your thoughts, and lets explore.
Is it ok as long as it doesn't include meditation?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I heard...
This is an interesting subject; if it turns out to be ok, I may sign up for classes. I know a lot of people who do yoga and swear by it.
