"The fact that yoga classes assume the muslum prayer position without actually praying is what makes yoga haraam for believers. They still come take class though. It works."

I didn't know that.   (I guess if they happen to be practicing yoga at prayer time, they can just start to pray, and kill two birds with one stone, so to speak...)        :-)

(I think if I was doing some of those yoga postures I've seen, I'd be praying that I wouldn't get stuck in one of them, or break anything important.)       :-)

(It sounds like you practice or teach yoga.   Were you saying that yoga works in general, or that that particular yoga pose works to that particular effect?)

Yes, I teach. It’s a healthful practice that millions find helpful for a whole variety of ailments and issues. Seems the regular balanced stretching and strengthening enables the body’s own recuperative powers. ANd somehow, for many, it’s fun to do in a group, kind of a drudge to do alone.
