False. Yoga is not a religion.
Yoga is a practice that originated in ancient India and has evolved over centuries. While it often overlaps with Hinduism, yoga itself is not a religion.
Here's why:
- Yoga focuses on physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It emphasizes self-awareness, self-discipline, and connecting with the inner self.
- Yoga is practiced by people of various faiths and backgrounds. It is not tied to any specific deity, dogma, or belief system.
- Yoga offers a wide range of practices, including physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation. These practices can be adapted to individual needs and preferences.
Although yoga has roots in Hinduism, it has become a global phenomenon and is practiced by millions of people worldwide, regardless of their religious beliefs.
