Spiritual Exercises & Martial Arts

Yoga can be a spiritual practice, or just a form of purely physical exercise. Pilates is a physical fitness system that teaches awareness of breath and alignment of the spine and strengthens the muscles. Tai Chi is a set of movements that improve and maintain health, create a sense of relaxation and keep qi flowing. Martial arts also have a deep sense of spirituality. Whichever method you have chosen, you can talk about it in this forum.
