السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته و مغفرته!

I don't see why the breathing/stretches would be incorrect. As for the sun salutation, is there a fatwa against it as I was not aware it was not allowed. They are different to prostration and neither would anyone mistake it for such.

My yoga instructor makes us turn and literally face the sun for the surya namaskar..and the whole act stems from the sun -worshipping hindus.. I have no fatwa on it ; we dont do chants though
I think we desperately need an aalim to answer your question about fitness programs because almost ALL of them _incorporate_ yoga moves but _arent_ yoga in the true sense

Ah well, swimming is a sunnah and its a great sport too so i guess thats that.

-> bint_azam, thank you for all your help.
