    Lol they’re not interchangeable. Most people do yoga without meditation, and people meditate without doing yoga. They’re two different and separate things.

      You’re absolutely right.

      I like the movement, stretching, and “connecting with your body”-feel of yoga.

      But meditation can fuck right off. I can’t pair the two. My therapist keeps trying to push me into it, but it makes my anxiety skyrocket.

      Also: OP, why are you being so hostile?

        why are you being so hostile?

        Because fuck you that’s why ¯_ (ツ)_/¯
        If people don’t want to be told to fuck off (the horror!) maybe they should try not derailing the post with pointless pedantry or centering their experience after specifically being asked not to.
