There is Christian yoga all over the south

My wife goes four to five days a week

And you can attend a regular yoga and hear absolutely nothing beyond breathing and letting go crap

And of course the cycles of yoga poses or stations I think they call them

Yoga is a series of movements and positions interspersed with breathing and rest poses with encouragement from the teacher and background music usually meditative but not always

Sometimes is loud modern rock

My wife prefers Depeche Mode for her yoga music

There are mainline churches here with Christian governed yoga

When we travel she gets her yoga where she can....and to my knowledge she’s never ever ever been proselytize with Hindu dogma

Breathe in relax your diaphragm is not Hindu scripture

I’ll wager somewhere there are the kinds of yoga studios you fear but I’ve never seen them

In 25 years of watching my wife who is a near master of it...she doesn’t have strong shoulders and head stands are hard for her but boy she is incredible at it

There’s a video here of a 95 year Indio English woman in New York who still teaches and does it seriously

Yoga is amazing truly amazing on a woman’s body

I’m very glad she does it and her soul is fine...probably safer than my lifetime as a hellion

I don’t go with the “it’s just stretching exercise!” excuses. As one Hindu yogi has observed, it would be the same as him getting baptized because he needed to bathe.
It’s not as if there weren’t thousands of non-Hindu exercise and/or stretching programs to utilize instead.

I agree. I’m not a true yoga practioner like your wife, not even close.

I do a few yoga poses on my Wii Fit routine. I love it. I can’t do hard, intense exercises because of a congenital heart defect, a bad back & arthritis. The beginner yoga poses I do are fun & helps my body.

There is nothing “religious” about it. There’s no chanting nor does the virtual instructor say “namaste”. She just guides me through the poses.

The complainers are probably the same people who believe that dancing is a sin.

Satan rules!

Your church is “mainlining” satan.
