yoga....Q and A

assouma

1.
Is yoga a religion?

No. However, it can be part of a religious/spiritual practice.
2.
Is yoga a replacement for conventional treatment?

No. You should continue any current medication or treatment program. Yoga can help relieve the symptoms of various conditions, and it's good for your overall well being, but it's not a treatment itself. And remember: If you do have specific health problems, make sure your health care provider knows you are planning to take up yoga.
3.
I'm not that flexible. Can I still practice yoga?

Of course! You may want to start with a beginner's class. Yoga allows you to work at your own pace within your own limitations. No one expects you to be able to do advanced postures right away—or even ever. But the advantage is that yoga will make you more flexible.
4.
Why does yoga have all these health benefits?

Scientists aren't exactly sure why yoga has physiological benefits, but at least some of its success can be attributed to stress reduction, the relaxation response and the "exercise" element with benefits that parallel other forms of exercise.
5.
I have several books on yoga. Do I really need to take a class?

Yoga practitioners generally maintain that the best way to learn is in person. If you are homebound, there are countless books, Web sites and DVDs available. Just remember that the best and safest way to learn is with a teacher guiding you.
