Why is Yoga incompatible with Catholicism? - FATHER JOHN HARDON, S.J.
From Fr. Gabriel Amorth, the Vatican's Chief Exorcist: The devil does yoga
And, finally,
MB asks: “While it’s true that most yoga positions are designed to be positions of worship to Hindu gods, I find it hard to believe that there’s any danger in practicing them when it’s just being done as an exercise.” - See more at: http://www.womenofgrace.com/blog/?p=17011#sthash.ggtxRmmq.89BjEVzj.dpuf
Yoga, as well as Transcendental Meditation, are incompatible with being a Christian.
That’s news to me. Now I know why I was always bored stiff trying to twist myself into a pretzel while exclaiming “om!”
How many public schools teach and encourage yoga?
I got another one for you. Want to Start an Argument (among Feminazis?)? Just Say “Bossy.”
Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy,Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy,Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy, Bossy
Sorry, couldn't help it. Carry on.
Can one replace “Om Namah Shivaya” with “Our Father Who Art in Heaven?”
I would say yoga is pretty bastardized in America. I mean, they teach you how to do it at Elaine Powell exercise centers. It’s not my cup of tea I’ll tell you that.
With respect to Deuteronomy 12:30-31, I would say leave that notion alone.
There are plenty of “new age” spiritual movements which borrow a little this and a little that from eastern religions that say “I am God”, “The universe is God”, etc. Even if their message is well-camouflaged as something innocent, there is usually a deeper core that leads in the wrong direction, saying there is no absolute God and whatever feels good is right.
Right. It is not a Catholic thing but a Christian thing.
Down dog...
Yoga, the most pressing matter in Catholicism.
You looking to add to the anxiety that people in this country are facing and dealing with?
When is it enough for people like you?
No! Please visit the linked web sites above for a detailed explanation.
Oops, I meant to say
YOGA!
According to an expert on the topic, the 'positions' one assumes in yoga are intended to draw in certain spirits. I would encourage you to visit the links posted agove.
“When is it enough for people like you?”
I’m guessing never.
I haven’t attempted yoga in about 40 years. The only spirits I drew were awful pains in the back.
People are joking, NYer. Everybody of a certain age tried to lose weight or relax using a bastardized version of yoga.
