Do I have to believe in reincarnation to practice yoga? How does it relate to my practices?
Reincarnation is the belief that each soul lives in a series of different bodies. No, it is not necessary to believe in reincarnation. It does, however have an indirect relation to your practices. If you do believe in it, some of the purification you will work on could be removing blockages from past lives. Conversely, your journey could be much shorter if you have begun purification in past lives, and this is likely if you have an interest in these practices.
However, if you don't believe in reincarnation, then you can use that to increase your bhakti. If you only have one lifetime to become enlightened, you may want to put all of your devotion into that goal.
