Yoga or no yoga [I Yoga]

Do you think yoga is anti christian?

Hinduism has attached Yoga with the their religion, , otherwise yoga is a exercise .like all other exercises.
We can't say yoga is at number one .

We had a yoga instructor invited to our United Methodist church. She prayed to God and after her prayer I said “In Jesus name”.
Quite a few people were getting the creeps about her prayer and thanked me afterwards.

@Pfuzylogic How recent was this?
Pfuzylogic · M
@Fauxmyope2
I would say around 2002.
This was a huge church that had a 10,000 membership role.
Most of the members were lawyers.

@Pfuzylogic 10,000 members? Holy moly!

I think not , because Yoga is an body excerise so we can't attached with any specific religion . But i not believe in Yoga much i think our routine exercise is much better than Yoga .
Meditation is good for health and there no any single or specific way to do that . Do whatever you like and do that easily

Yoga derives from ancient Indian spiritual practices and an explicitly religious element of Hinduism (although yogic practices are also common to Buddhism and Jainism.

@Peppa true

Yoga and Christianity go hand in hand. I mean, if your doing one or the other your basically trying shove your head up your own ass.

@Thevy29 haha epic!
Well Yoga is Hindu so yeah, it's not Christian. But I wouldn't say it's directly against Christianity
Summersrain · 51-55, F
@Qwerty14 yes I think i agree with you

I don't really. But it was not allowed to take place in a hall owned by the Church that was used for activities - activities completely unrelated to the Church or Christianity. Yoga can be secular or it can be spiritual. You can be Christian and do yoga or have other Eastern beliefs - especially if you're in to more than just doing the asanas.

As for yoga or no yoga, I say yoga!
What about you and what do you think? Feel free to reply in a PM if you want.

Yoga is an action or series of actions. How can it have a stance:)

@Pfuzylogic Was she a good yogini?
Pfuzylogic · M
@Fauxmyope2
I think when it came to the postures she knew what she was doing. I think it was natural for her to lean in proselytizing but the Christian church was not the place to do it.

I ❤️🧘‍♀️!
No that's a weirdest question. Yoga is good for mind and body it has nothing to do with religion
Summersrain · 51-55, F
@littlepuppywantanewlife it's part of the Hindu religion
@Summersrain I know. But anyone can do it. It's not that hindu will say no. They teach anybody or any religion.

Nope. But there are some fundamentalists who believe that.
