Is yoga a religion? This debate has existed for quite some time…
The ancient texts that guide the foundational teachings of yoga are derived from Patanjali’s The Yoga Sutras.
But his teachings are often interpreted differently by yoga practitioners.
Some practitioners find specific references to religious beliefs in these words. But others interpret the Yoga Sutras as non-denominational.
Patanjali indeed mentions a higher being by using the word “Iswara” which can mean “Lord” or that which is omnipotent.
But still, there is a lot of room for interpretation from both sides of the debate.
