So Mark Singleton wrote a book called Yoga body which supposedly claims that many of the asanas or poses came from European primitive gymnastics and not from India

They were later given hindu names

There is nothing necessarily involving polytheistic worship to do a exercise from Europe that was renamed after a hindu god by a hindu

That being said some of the practices involving chanting the name of hindu gods would seem like polytheistic worship to me

@sardonicsmile

You have to be careful and really decide how different exercises in yoga would effect your mind before deciding if you should do them

Some exercises maybe bad for the minds of some people

I think some of the Asana poses and some Pranayama breathing exercise practices are fine for most people

But there are a bunch of other practices in some schools of yoga which maybe bad for the mind or body

@sardonicsmile

I am not counting the sealing exercise where people cut their tongue in order to stick it up their nasal cavity from inside their throat as a breathing exercise

I would suggest that doing amateur surgery is unsafe and that people should not do that if they are not medically qualified or maybe not at all

Pythagoras was an avid gymnast, and used it as a spiritual practice. He also believed in reincarnation. Doesn't sound too far off from Yoga

@Chuckar @sardonicsmile

There is something called Greco-Buddhism or Buddhism in Greece that traces back to before the mainstream narrative timeline for the birth of Jesus

there is or was an article about it on wikipedia

Zola Levitt if I remember correctly also claimed Budha statues, or figurines were found near ancient Israelite archeological sites. I think they were small enough you can hold them in your hands.

@shortstories @Chuckar Those claims sound false just on its face. Sounds like something they would say on a Reddit post
