As a type of stretching and physical balance exercises, there is nothing wrong with a Christian using them. For those purposes, they are excellent. Any of the spirituality associated with yoga is Hindu in origin and thus, incompatible with Christianity and should be avoided by all Christians.

If a yoga class attempts to add meditation or chanting to the physical exercises, a Christian should leave.

Please show me where meditation is anti-Biblical! I can provide at least 20 Bible verses where we're encouraged to meditate. None of them say that it's against Biblical law to meditate while doing exercise.

Christians should not...watch scary movies, listen to music with the mention of fairies or goblins. Eat sugar which could cause gluttony. Talk with other faiths or cultures not in an evangelical context as they may become demon possessed or polluted with non-Godly ideas. Never read text books which contradict the 6000 year old earth theory. Never love anyone of another faith as you may become un-equally yoked. Basically become a FREAKING Pharisees . See how stupid all the rules and dogmas are.

What should basically do is stand in a corner, muttering scripture into your shoe tops while saluting the flag, anything else is un-Godly and dangerous to your salvation. Now head off to Bible study where you can gossip and bask in the your knowledge you are not going to that fiery place all those dirty towel and dot heads are going.

How about if I meditate while doing yoga and listening to a Gregorian chant? Is that allowed?????
