Yoga is basically a Hindu religious practice. But is there anything actually spiritual involved? It seems more physical than anything else.

There can be but some forms the goal is to open the shakra center which I probably did messing with the occult and some forms of charismatics. Or at night trying to do soul travel (and seemed to succeed but now I wonder if it is all an illusion, was delivered from that about 2 weeks before I entered the Catholic Church, praise God for that!) Once entering the church was disappointed in lack of conformity in the liturgical rules, can't remember the name of the slender book for that) (disobedience) and other things.

Hard to close shakra center or Edgar Cayce's third eye or pineal? gland) again if at all and for unclean souls an entry point for deceptive spirits. Just my opinion. Christian traditional posture can be postrate facing ground or kneeling. Kneeling may come from the bible, Every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. Also standing. Not sure about biblical traditional postures, lots of paintings notwithstanding.

In the bible, when a posture is mentioned, most seem to fall forward (or just fall) when experiencing an overpowering spiritual experience.

Many charismatics seem to prefer turning palms upward. I don't know if it matters too much except at masses if your heart is right with God.

Very contemplative.

I will worship God and not a Hindu god.
