How about T’ai Chi? How about Kung Fu and other martial arts that grew out of Buddhist monasteries? How about getting focused on preaching the Gospel and stop worrying about the inconsequential....

A Catholic expert against Yoga was interviewed by a magazine of the "Holier than the Pope" variety. It selectively edited her responses. When she asked for a clarification, the "truth warriors" wouldn't change how they allegedly misrepresented her views.

And yet we have churches that hold these sessions under the guise of “exercise classes.” If you told the participants they were practicing the rituals of a pagan religion, they would look at you like you were a nutcase.

I agree completely.
It is part of the current Delusion that yoga is harmless.

The same Bible that teaches you the gospel also has a thing or two to say about practicing false religion.

I don't believe God thinks it's inconsequential, how many times did He warn his people to stop living like the pagans around them?

All Christian rituals are of pagan origin.

When I get down on my knees and pray the Greek Synod doesn’t figure in my conversations with God....

This is part of the self ruling church in Greek not to be confused with the OTHER synods of the rest of the world.
This is more a competition issue than a morality issue.

I’m probably alone here, but I never cared Mr. Grover voice from ANY of the episodes anyhow including “Empire Strikes Back”
He went from bad to ridiculous in the fight scenes in that one movie that had Jar Jar Banks though.

There is much in the philosophy of Hindu Yogis that is incompatible with Christianity. There is nothing about meditation and stretching poses that is incompatible with Christianity. I have found yoga instructors who simply run you through the meditation/exercise without interjecting the whole “you are one with the universe” stuff. It’s not even that I feel it attacks my faith, just that it all sounds so silly.
