It is permissible to practice yoga exercises if they are stripped of their pagan rituals and words, and are free from facing the sun, bowing, and saluting it. This should be done while altering the order of the poses and introducing new ones, and not performing them at the times when Hindus are keen to perform them. Instead, one should engage in the remembrance of Allah and glorification (Tasbeeh) while practicing them.
