Please continue, Dawei. Excellent start. (applause from the grateful audience) Nancy Nancy Sculerati MD 08:51, 8 February 2007 (CST)

I do not know enough to know if you already have included this in one of the already written subheadings, but could you kindly add "Yoga as a healing art" to the article? This article will open up into several others, and at least one should go in that direction. Thanks, Nancy Nancy Sculerati MD 20:49, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Okay, will do. Thanks for the kind words! Bei Dawei

Intro

Great content so far, but I'm wondering if the intro is a bit too chummy. Would anyone object to making it a bit more academic? Blessings. --Michael J. Formica 10:44, 5 November 2007 (CST)

Go for it!--Gary Giamboi 12:44, 5 November 2007 (CST)

Buddhism & Daoism

Please see my last revision on the history page. I picked the word "Entity"; but, I am wondering if "Concept," might be closer to the Central Ideas of BUddhism and/or Daoism; and, thus make it eaiser to see how they could be included in the final goal of Yoga. Any thoughts?--Gary Giamboi 12:44, 5 November 2007 (CST)

The problem is that Yoga is not restricted to One Eternal Absolute Being/Entity/Concept, etc. Yoga appears in Taoist practice, Wicca, Kabala, and even Christianity. As a practice within the Hindu religion, the statement fails, as both Hinduism and Buddism regard a patheon of dieties, without One Supreme anything...Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma are all part of Brahman, which is part of Indra...and on and on...
