AH, yes. I hear this often. I will often ask people what they do practice and if they believe their God/Creator/whatnot knows their heart? Of course, they mostly say yes, and then I invite them to approach it from a place of curiosity and understanding. Take what serves them, leave the rest behind. I feel like yoga is not a religion but a practice that offers opportunity to learn about yourself and find new ways to look at the world and humanity through the lens of interest and inquiry. For me, if a religion tries to make stop operating from that place, I'm not interested.
