Gak pernah ada mantera. Memang ada saat diminta kita untuk konsentrasi, relax dengan memejamkan mata. Saya juga memanfaatkan saat itu untuk berdzikir. Ini yoga yang udah mengalami modifikasi kali ye. Instrukturnye juga bukan orang India. Ya, saya juga menganggap yoga sebagai olah raga ringan. Gak berkeringat tapi uenak otot2 jadi relax. Ngilu, pegel di otot bisa hilang. Melatih pernafasan, melatih keseimbangan. Lampunya juga gak terang benderang. Pokoke gue banget! Waktu general check up kemaren, dokter nyaranin saya untuk olah raga yang lebih memacu jantung. Hmmm...jadi tambah deh mo ikutan threadmill aja. Soale kalo ikutan aerobik, gak sinkron deh antara kaki dan tangan. Trus..rada malu kalo gerakannya 'hot marihot' apalagi lampunya terang benderang...:-)). Walaaah demam panggungnye masih aja tuh! Pokoke bukan gue banget! "Emang sapa elo!"...ha..ha...sorry ya jadi curhat. Halo MUI, kalo mau buat fatwa soal ini betul2 bertabayun deh. wassalam, --- In wanita-muslimah@yahoogroups.com, "L.Meilany" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Di Indonesia MUI lagi dalam taraf bertabayun - cek & ricek. > Sementara itu banyak praktisi yoga yg banyak juga orang Islam menganggap persoalan ini mengada ada. > Adnan Buyung Nasution bahkan dalam 'mantra2' yoganya mengganti dengan menyebutkan istilah islam, berdzikir misalnya. > > Yoga hanya sekedar bagian dari olahraga. > > Salam, > l.meilany > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Sunny > To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; > Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 1:27 AM > Subject: [wanita-muslimah] Malaysia Islamic body bans yoga for Muslims > > > http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/malaysia-islamic-body-bans-yoga- for-muslims/2008/11/22/1226770812366.html > > Malaysia Islamic body bans yoga for Muslims > > Banned . . .
