The problem is that yoga holds that all existence is one; there is no distinction between God and the universe. Through enlightenment a person becomes one with all of existence.

Versus what - that the universe is made of something other than God? Which would mean that God is not infinite, because there's something outside of God?

LOL, sorry, but no. It's all God. All of it. That's what the word "infinite" means.

Yoga’s OK all he wants is a full picnic basket. Boo Boo needs to catch on and stop being a wimp. Two baskets is better than one. Ranger Smith needs to mellow out. Cindy? A tease Yoga needs to move on.

Yoga is considered a whole body experience originating in Hinduism as a means to reach enlightenment through exercises and meditations that unite the body, mind, and spirit. For Catholics, worshiping or becoming one with a yoga deity breaks the First Commandment.

I'd love to hear how this is different from praying to Mary or venerating relics, etc.

Most of the people getting the vapors over yoga are too fat and lazy to last 5 minutes doing the exercise so it’s really not an issue.

Yoga is an invention of a Brit in the 1950s, applying Hindu prayer to calisthenics. Leave out the Hindu prayer, and it’s simply calisthenics. But then call it calisthenics.

“Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.”—Romans 14:22

This, IMO, is the guide whatever the “disputable matter”. I notice that Christian apologists seem to present yoga in its most demonic expression and present that as “official yoga”. Fact is, there is no consensus on yoga in INDIA, let alone America. There is a new agey school of yoga, and Christians ought to avoid it like the plague. The poses in and of themselves are based on how the body moves. Pretty ingenious and elegant, actually. Wonder how that works...people created in the image of God found something of beauty in the human form. Not bad. Satan distorts and maligns and suggests worship of the creature. Bad.

The most innocuous things can be demonic if someone is not IN CHRIST. Believers know who made the universe, and that it belongs to him. With the mind of Christ we can discern the mountains from the molehills, the gnats from the camels.
