Yoga is banned for Muslims in M'sia
It's a pity to know that Muslims in M'sia are banned from practicing yoga.
Yoga originates from India where it's practiced by Hindu monks for ages.
But let's see, most of the yoga practices now has globally evolved to a level which it's for fitness purposes. It doesn't involve in chanting at all. Not unless if you practice your yoga with yoga monk in Hindu temple. In today's yoga, I personally think that there are two types of practice, one is religious which practice by Hindu and the other is for fitness purpose which practiced widely by either Hindu or non-Hindu in fitness studios.
So why ban yoga that's only a form of exercise which one can benefit from it. Time has changed a lot of things, so why not keep your pace with the changes. Those who do, will keep improving and those that don't, will be left behind.
