I think you answered your own question, I bring in things as i see it, for example i talk about non attachment and i will talk about the four noble truths, when we mediated i remind my students of the first three yoga sutra which defines yoga. Or if we are doing yoga and iam playing some chants in the back ground i will explain the meaning of Shiva and Vishnu. I hope you have a better understanding of what i mean. I know the differences between the Buddhist religion and the yogic physiosphy and i dont confuse them or think they are interchangeable. What iam into is bringing the point of yoga "union with the divine self" back into a yoga class and teach my students how that is the point of any yogic practice.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2002 Report Posted November 14, 2002 Why is it the minute Christ is mentioned everyone goes in a huff in regards to yoga. Isn't the ultimate goal of yoga to yoke with GOD? If a yoga teacher wishes to incorporate spiritual/religious teachings in his class, it is up to each individual whether or not they wish to participate in that class. If he/she chooses to discuss some of each and there are no objections by their students then who are we to judge. I truly wondor if many of the participants of yoga classes are even looking for a connection to a "higher power" at all.
