Absolutely not. It is New Age and a door to the Satanic.

No. The same goes for transcendental meditation and other Eastern forms of meditation.

It’s probably a rhetorical question, but the answer is definitely H*** No.

I’m trying to incorporate eating fast food into Christianity.

So far i’ve found nothing in the Bible to back it up.

And when I say H*** No, I’m being literal.

Hey did you guys read the rest?

Christmas gifts and christmas trees and even wedding rings are off the table too as they are NOT Christian traditions nor started by Christians but by other folks worshiping false gods.

So throw away those rings and NO CHRISTMAS FOR YOU!!! :)

That's because you're being idiotic in your approach. Try becoming a Democrat and attending a Unitarian Universalist church. I think that's more your crowd.

Maybe the exercises only. Once you get into the mind and chant stuff, definitely NO!

You would have made a GREAT witch hunter in the 1600s

WE NEED more religiously pompous asses in the world :)

It gets boring without them.

Remember, if they SINK, they weren’t’ witches. If they can get to the top of the water, STONE THEM

SMH

You people are too unreal :)

You need to read the whole article, the writer is a Yoga practitioner and a Christian.

If you wish to improve your spiritual life and the concept of yoga is appealing, then you’d be well advised to consider Christian Mysticism.

Yoga is fundamentally a secular discipline, and does not help you connect with G_d. Its benefits are pretty much limited compared to true, divine-oriented mysticism.

Sure, throw away all nuance. Let's all go to Mecca to bathe as well, after all it's just a bath.

Yes, seriously. Look up Steven Bancarz, Doreen Virtue and videos with Dr. Michael Heiser with Steven Bancarz.I

Not a game.

That’s just ignorant. It’s just stretching, relaxing, breathing, sweating in a broiling room.
It is not satanic.

Also, thanks to yoga, we have yoga pants to look at.

Yeah, that's the excuse Obama used to defend taking anything Christian from all law.

So I go back to my first recommendation for you again. More your crowd.

I do not care what the rest said. Christmas is not pagan or evil, but yoga and Christianity cannot mix.

Cannot be both. As stated, the exercises/stretches alone are just that. Adding the changing and mind emptying is dangerous.

The writer was not saying Christmas was evil. She was using it as a way to justify yoga despite its origins. (She herself is a yoga trainer.) I respect your conclusions nonetheless.
