Islam and Yoga

Yoga, as it is practiced today, has extended to Muslim & Arab nations in the guise of health, fitness, and wellbeing. Surprisingly, yoga training centers, including run-of-the-mill classes and high-tech studios, have mushroomed across Muslim countries in the past few years. It concerns me greatly as I believe that yoga is a vehicle for the propagation of Hinduism. Topics Covered: Introduction Brief History of Religions
