Yoga is Hinduism.
The whole concept revolves around being physically and spiritually aligned with Brahman to escape this simulated reality(universe) and make connection with brahman(the ultimate, formless reality or God) through our souls which is detached from it's original origin(brahman) and trapped in this simulation.

Wtf is he talking about???
Lord Shiva the Attributed personification of of the Attribute-less Parabrahmn and one of the Trinity who is burdened with the responsibility of the destruction of the creation and all the things in it, is Called Adi-Yogi i.e the First Yogi.
He was the one who did Yoga For the first time when he had taken up a Human Body in the early era of Earth.Thus imparting the knowledge of Yoga to 7 Sacred Rishi's who imparted to Ignorant humans.
But what Christians and western world does is the Yoga of body which is just the starting fraction part of the true Yoga.

first of all it's not yoga it's yog and you will find it in every textbook of Hinduism and also in Buddhism because this two religion develop in same land of India (The land of yog ) . Those people calling yoga is connected to Christianity those are fools . If you don't believe you can search on internet.

Yoga IS Hinduism…not “oftentimes connected with Hinduism”…gotta be specific.

[TheT]

This is not Yoga... It's ""YOG"" ... this is Indian.. Hindu Spiritual practice 👍...
And Meditation Also, It's not meditation ❌ its Name ""Dhayan/Dhan""

[ThatsWhat-She.]

Each pose in Yoga is associated with a hindu deity/god. Their is no seperating the poses from the religion but people are easily decieved. The bible also says to be wary of mixtures, like those programs that use yoga poses but listen to worship music instead of Ooming or chanting etc..

I was a ballet dancer and with my body I praised and felt God.

It's all about intention. Yoga is about preparing your mind and body for meditation. You choose to meditate on Jesus or something else, or can just treat it as exercise.

So blessed by your teachings and clarifications

Thank you

Western yoga is built on eastern yoga. Eastern yoga was started to invoke/invite in the kundalini spirit(a demon). All poses(especially the more advanced ones) are built upon this purpose. Pilates, on the other hand, is just stretching. As a Christian, why choose yoga at all?

[michaelbrown]

Well if Jesus Christ is the bread of life; then with this logic no one but Christians should be eating bread.

Which seems pretty silly.

I mean I see it like this even if every yoga position that existed was some kind of tribute to some god or spiritual practice or whatever else.

If I ain’t keeping up with that news and I’m doing it all for other reasons; God knows my heart.

I sincerely doubt I’m going to be condemned for not studying another religion.

I was never asked too..

wtf is often times connected with Hinduism, yoga is Hinduism

[danielguevara]

here is a simple answer the Bible gives us...Jeremiah 10:1-2 1 Hear ye the word of the Lord that he speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen....and also in Deuteronomy 12. God is a jealous God, he wants us to live holy lives and not learn from satan's world and its practices but from God and his kingdom, remember we are sojourners on this earth. If you need a way to de-stress and have peace I suggest reading the word, meditating on it, and doing what it says. If you have no peace that means there is sin in your life and you are not right with God. If you are doing it because a friend is dragging you to it then invite her to church instead so he or she can find true peace that can only be found through Jesus, our savior.

I use to practice yoga more seriously, but as it was a similar timing to my new walk with Christ I didn't feel comfortable with the mindfulness or humming. So I use to think of Jesus. I then stopped watching tutorials and I do believe all I am doing is stretching after a workout whilst listening to Christian worship music and often praying. Will need to look into if any of the moves would be considered worship to demons.

[johnalexir]

It is alarming to me that there is even any question about whether exercise itself - not related to yoga here, at this point in the video - 0:19 - is sinful or not. Yikes. Why would it be? Luckily his answer is No, but it's scary it would even come up. If the answer were yes, would we be allowed to walk around? Next topic: is yogurt sinful

[indiafirst]

First of all there is no fake religion. Secondly there is no concept of demon in any Indian religion
Thirdly Yoga is for keeping your body healthy and fit which is not a religious practice.

Hi God Bless Everyone !!!
Please Don’t do it !!!! I use to practice yoga and this gives the enemy an open door because every pose is a symbol of you praising their “god” vlad savchuk he is a pastor and explains it all in his video called ex yoga instructor tell all … 🙏🏽

[Laurensmap]

Thank you for this well thought out and to the point explanation for what yoga is and why as Christian we cant take it so lightly . I've always used the excuse of its just and exercise or I don't believe in their god so its no that deep but it is whether I believe or not someone does and for them its a spiritual practice !

[ravikulkarni]

Yoga postures are great. But at advanced level there are chanting mantras like om etc. Om represent hindu god shiva.

[tomasinanorman]

I’m all about breathing and stretching . I don’t know I would go to a class though
