to yoga or not to yoga that is the question..

to yoga or not, would largely depends on what you're getting at. this is my point of view.

yoga by basic understand of my own limited brain power is to 'meditate' and what i mean by meditating is to find 'inner peace', to 'centre' yourself in this big busy world. recent statement by the fatwa council has caused a little uproar yet again from our highly 'allergic-to-fatwas' population of muslims and non muslim alike and of course Sisters in Islam has to butt in with their own little views (i just thot they like to feel important).

perhaps uttering the calming words of Subhanallah Walhamdulillah Walaillahailallah would make Yoga suitable for the human spirit instead of chanting 'im a tree, feel the earth with my hairy dry toes with warts'.

its all about finding a sense of calm and a sense of inner quite from the turbulance busy life of the city. its madness out there, there's a million kind of pollution; smoke, noise, rubbish etc. and malaysians do need the time to chill in a weird pose very similar to monkeys shitting on the tree tops.

im not belittling yoga nor am i disregarding the clerical views on yoga, but there comes a time when they need to be one about it. if iran is practising syariah law (fully) and yoga is the main mode of healthy lifestyle for the population, why can't we?

it'll be no different that sitting cross legged on the floor and getting blood circulation cut off from your toes than standing in a tree pose and chanting Allah is most great. but do make sure you wear appropriate attire, none of those clothes that makes your bulge hanging out by the sides. i don't care what you think, its UGG GEE LEE..

sekian terima kasih.
