hello,
whatever stay_fan said is not true..at least the yoga part of it. yoga has been handed down since time immemorial by rishis(saints).
without proper guidance by a practised person, u can land in trouble doin yoga. so be careful about it.
well, in india, yoga is an art lost and found. though its importance diminished over the last few decades ppl today are taking greater interest in yoga ,( not only the middle aged ones but also the youth, ...me and my mom both do it)
this is in wake of the increased health consciousness and the need for a stress buster.
medidation usually goes hand in hand with yoga.
hope that helps.
