Pactise of Yoga

Salam sister

Just about everybody nowdays does yoga across the globe, that doesn't mean they are hindu's. The exercise and meditation itself is good for you as many research studies shows, and spreads across many religions. There is alot more to being a hindu.  Just doing the exercise is not being or practicing hinduism  that would make just about everyone being a hindi across the globe when they are not  

Assalamu alaikum,
 
Sorry I am a little bit sneaky,
 
I think the physical part (breathing even the reflection/meditation) of yoga is OK. You might able to Islamicize the Yoga.

When Islam came to Indonesia in 13-14 Century we had Hinduism and Buddhism. In order to introduce Islam to the Indonesian, they (the Ulama/Muslim Scholars, who are the trader from Gujarat/India and midle east) didn't ask the Indonesian to stop their tradition and replace it with Arabic tradition/culture. But what they did was they Islamicize the local tradition.

For example the puppet show was very big in Indonesia on that time. The content of the story mainly was The Mahabharata, the Hindu Religious epic. The Ulama, Islamicized the story, of example the ultimate weapon of the main figure, they name it "kalimasada", that it come from "kalimah shahada" (declaration to be Muslim). The lyric of the song they change it with salawat or dua'. If they didn't do that and use confrontation approach probably Indonesia is not the largest Muslim country now.

Anyway, so we can do the similar approach with Yoga, we can just remove the part that not in-line with the Islamic teaching. If we have one bucket of egg and some of them bad, just remove the bad one and keep the good because we know the good egg will be good for us.
