Yoga & Other Ungodly Practices

Yoga & Other Ungodly Practices

Practicing Yoga is not Biblical and Christians should not participate in this.

The word yoga means "union," and the goal is to unite oneself with Brahman, the Hindu god. This god is not a literal being, but is an impersonal, spiritual substance that is one with nature and the cosmos. This view is called "pantheism," the belief that everything is God.

Is it possible for a Christian to isolate the physical aspects of yoga as simply a method of exercise, without incorporating the spiritual side? No. Yoga originated with an anti-Christian philosophy, and that philosophy has not changed. It teaches one to focus on oneself, instead of on the one true God.

It encourages its participants to seek the answers to life's difficult questions within their own consciousness instead of in the Word of God.

It also leaves one open to deception from the enemy, who searches for victims whom he can turn away from God. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
