Answer 
Although yoga is not a religion in itself, it is connected to religion, and stems historically from Hinduism, but also to Jainism and Buddhism.
Both Buddhists and Hindus chant the sacred mantra ‘Om’ during their meditation. ‘Om’ is said to echo the sound of harmony in the universe. You can chant ‘Om’ however, without being a part of a religion, as the mantra isn’t necessarily religious, but more about feeling connected to other people.
Even though the modern branches of yoga are no longer religious, yoga retains its roots in contemplation and reflection. However, twenty-first century yogis, whether religious or not, can still experience that sense of self and place in the world – a lovely thread that connects us to other yogis past and present.
