After prohibiting women from wearing trousers, the Malaysian government has decided to ban them for practising yoga as well.

A yoga class in Malaysia

Yoga, in Sanskrit, means "union", in particular the union of the mind, body and spirit. It also refers to the practice of physical postures or and yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility.

According to a report, it was mentioned that Muslims who practise yoga could damage their faith as yoga is considered to be of "tomboyish behaviour". A leading Muslim professor at a Malaysian University also said that the origins of yoga could be tracked to Hinduism, and would thereby cause Muslims to deviate from the teachings of Islam.

As a result, the National Fatwa Council will likely issue a ruling by February on whether the ancient practice of yoga is permitted for Muslims.
