Atheism & Yoga

Hey Raviana. I was wondering is Atheism compatible with yoga? Can atheists practise yoga? A few people have asked me this question!

Its a great question! Atheism and yoga are very compatible because the practice of yoga does not mandate any type of belief system. Yoga is not a religion (but it is something best done religiously!) Yoga is simply a technology which can be used in whichever way a person is inspired to use it.

Because the practice of yoga/meditation engenders direct experience and expanded awareness, one is eventually able to transcend definitions and to experience more deeply whatever it is they believe in.
