Sat Nam, Most people's understanding of yoga is very limited. The practice of Kundalini Yoga includes meditation on the Holy Nam. The practice of yoga enhaces one's ability to focus and concentrate on God's Name. And, by the way, there is much more to Kundalini Yoga than the practice you describe. I have written a whole book about Kundalini Yoga, based on 27 years practice and teaching. One of the main purposes for writing was to dispel the misunderstandings about this very sacred, divine, science. In Siri Guru Granth Sahib it actually gives one of the breathing/meditation techniques we use -- describing it in detail. The main purpose of yoga is to unite the individual with God -- and, as the other reply correctly stated, it makes you healthier! Blessings. SP
