    you should definitely tell your cat to give up the Hinduism. Curry is very very bad for kitty. This is known true trueness.

    What's wrong with being a Hindu?
    It's cause you're not Christian?
    Shows how ignorant, fearful, racist and stupid many Christians can be.

    People have to be careful when starting out with Yoga.
    There are simple asanas for beginners.
    Best to take a beginner class.
    Community Colleges and Yoga studios are good places.

    Good thing about Yoga: Once you know how you can do it almost anywhere and it's FREE!
    It also makes you feel sooo good!

    There are legitimate First Amendment arguments (both pro and con) about including yoga in public schools during the school day.

    Hindu groups in the US, including the Hindu American Foundation, acknowledge this. It's not a subject for those with limited attention spans or who like to paint with broad brushes. If you want the benefit of the protections on free exercise of religion, you have to respect the prohibitions on infringing on others' rights in the same regard. One argument in favor of including yoga in public schools tries to avoid the question of the obvious connection between yoga and Hinduism by saying that Hinduism isn't a religion. That may get yoga into public schools, but it doesn't serve the interest of Hindus in any way. They'd much rather keep anything that looks like yoga out of public schools than risk losing the protection of religious expression for an entire religion.

    The nuances of where asanas may end and Hindu philosophy may begin are best not left to Phys Ed teachers in public schools. They have difficult enough jobs already and don't need this. Let them worry about the rules of volleyball, fights in the locker room, medical restrictions on who can participate in which activities, and who didn't show up for class or tried to sneak out early.

    Alabama is a wacky state, but on the question of legal protections and prohibitions, neither position (allow or ban yoga in public schools) is totally wacky.

    Anything can injure you. I was taught to practice yoga by all by ex girlfriends the last 20 years in sexy relationships. I love women in yoga pants. It can injure you if you continue edging yourself to not do nothing about it after staring for so long.

    Simply learn basic stretching exercises and learn to control your breathing patterns. Everyone is built differently so joints and muscles don't always work the same. Only do what you are able to tolerate, but it is important to continue trying to treat your pain tolerance. No pain, no gain perhaps.

    Never give up on something just because someone else said so. Figure it out yourself as well.

    I am learning exercises to improve singing. Lung capacity can be optimized by a yoga of the elbows
    going up and then stretching forward. Oh , and give a sigh an oh and an ah and some rap.

    Yoga breathing is ideal for expanding lung capacity. Advanced yogis go for Astanga yoga, where breathing is key to the exercises.
