When I started Ashtanga, as an introduction, my yoga teacher siad that yoga is not a religion (which I agree with) and that it can be practiced regardless of religious beliefs.

But she also did say that you can have spirituality from your practice without being religious. I've always thought that spritualism and religion were pretty much the same thing, so this was a difficult concept for me to understand.

Does anyone have a definition of religion and spirituality? What's the difference? How does spirituality become part of practice?
