Is Yoga Wrong? - Your Questions, Honest Answers

Is it wrong for Christians to practice yoga? I have scoliosis and have been taking a Hatha yoga class three mornings a week. It has done wonders for my back and overall health. It is only an exercise class for me and I leave before they do the ritual at the end where everyone folds their hands and says "Namaste."

It is bad no Born Again Christian needs to partake. Thank you for standing up for Righteousness. The LORD has told me this years ago, finally the LIGHT is exposing darkness...

[aalazzers]

He is spot on I've been saying this for years! This new age Christianity is doing just that!

[horrorhabit]

In order to truly understand the beauty of Mr. Robertson's advice, it really helps to have a lobotomy beforehand.

yes yoga is wrong and ive been wanting to do pilates for a while, i must try! 🙏🙌

[cloudflores]

Indeed! That's what I've always said! Some of my Christians friends think yoga is ok. I mean stretching is ok but the other stuff

[olgasa]

Yes its wrong, so is meditation. Unless your meditating on God's Word🤗

[RenewalCreations]

It's the spirit behind the yoga, not the physical exercise or stretch.

[godmessanger]

Every movement in yoga has got evil meaning to them. worship to other gods. Stay away.

[wordsarehalo]

Well... for someone who has scoliosis pilates Can be worse for them considering it's More of an exercise than it is stretching for loosening joints & muscles, relaxation, & strengthening core body parts.

But Some of those poses themselves (through my research) are direct forms of communication (i.e. certain hand gestures) so I agree with you that this portion & the speaking you have to avoid/be cautious on. But another alternative is to not say anything or make the gestures. And for repeated poses to research if they May have a specific meaning so you can decide to skip out on it or not

[sunnyday]

yoga postures is a form of worship in hindu gods...😃😃😃

[adrioosthuizen]

I took yoga for yrs before I became born again. I asl thought it is just exercise... but it is NOT... every movement you make is a worship posture to their Hindu gods.... you worship them and you think it is only exercise.

[fabianenahoro]

Pat, why don’t you just say categorically that it is WRONG. Yoga is wrong. Period!

[ssam]

Real Yoga is connected to Hinduism. They say Sanskrit mantras along with it. Iam from India, and I know it for sure. I have heard of Christian Marshal Arts too among some Christians. There is no bowing to other gods but Iam not sure its ok.

[MosaicChronicles]

No wonder I could never get those poses right! Jesus doesn’t want His sheep doing wolf tricks. I used to love yoga or the idea of it at least

[bigdomoladiesman]

And a trick of the enemy is to say... Do Christian Yoga? There's no such thing.

[marcusmuse]

just exercise and do stretches or Pilates.

[UltraAar]

YOGA means UNION. Union with false gods.

[patrickporco]

The poses are worship too...such as salute to the sun... I have heard Hindu converts say tgat yoga's only true purpose is to bring demons into your life...

[candyland]

Yes it summons Demons! It's wrong!
