Is Yoga a Religion?

Yoga is not a religion. It is a philosophy, science, art and lifestyle that began in India an estimated 5,000 years ago. Ancient yoga scriptures provide a framework for spiritual growth and mastery over the physical and mental body. We love share the philosophy and historical context of yoga, called the "Deeper Practices" and we often brings in poetry or uplifting readings from wise spiritual leaders and teachers from around the globe. It is not necessary to surrender your own religious beliefs to practice yoga.
