Villagers say theyll boycott St Davids Church, in Blaenporth, Ceredigion, Wales, in protest.
Church bosses say pilates is OK, but not yoga, which might be seen to be in conflict with Christian values and belief.
Yoga does have value. Hillary does it. Helped her survive all those times they threw her in the back of the van during her campaign.”
Well yes, but aparently one has to write tons of email about it.
Religion is more faith than logic to me
Logic is more that we really are cosmic diarrhea
Pastor quickly explained it. Those poses and rituals are to open portals to the body, presumably for energy transference. By that logic, who knows what could get in? There are wicked spirits out there.
You were weak and susceptible and your faith was not that strong to begin with
No offense
Don’t project that on all Christian yoga practitioners
What influenced me from the perspective of not Christ like?
Prolly materialism and sex
With beautiful women
But if you went to yoga innocently and became a Satan worshippers
That defies my 25 years experience around it
It’s so nutty it’s laughable but you do note they can never resist
“I’m a better Christian than you are”
That used to be a common thing from the scolds in America when I was a boy long ago but it’s been supplanted by the shrill cacophony of political correctness
It’s amusing to see the bent nose of church lady remonstrations here on this thread
Over yoga
Must be a slow day over on the porn threads
So is eating turmeric.
The foremost exorcist at the Vatican wrote volumes on how yoga endangers the soul of a Christian by inviting the occult. His warnings are enough for me. I won’t go near yoga and any “church” that practices it is sadly mistaken. I don’t let my kids do it either.
This church is spot on. Thank goodness for their wisdom.

Practice yoga at your own risk.
yep, not christian...yoga is a type of worship to a false god
Haha, well I am married - 30 years this year. And my daughter is a psych nurse and seems to have no problem with my sanity. :)
You are right - I was not a believer when yoga sucked me in. But the Bible says we need to be careful not to cause the weak (me in this case) to stumble. When a church hosts a yoga class, they are giving it their stamp of approval. Those of weak or uncertain faith can be drawn in very easily.
I have no problem with strong believers doing yoga for exercise if they can avoid the emptying of their mind and can separate the physical exercise from the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings. I just want to emphasize that a wholesale endorsement of yoga can cause people to stumble.
I’m not catholic hon
I don’t cotton much to what padres say as a rule
Though I sure liked JP2
And Benedict
Every now and then I see priests on TV I agree with
But my southern baptist preacher man is likely to say bingo is gambling
And gambling sure open doors to the dark prince
I don’t church lady posturing anymore than how easily folks smear with accusations of racism bigotry or anti Semitism
Profundity independent of empiricism is toxic
_The church is correct - yoga is a Hindu practice._

Just goes to show how messed up they are - they’ll go for that, but a double Whopper is verboten! Meanwhile, cows are running around pooping anywhere they want because they’re considered divine.
Geez what a snob you are
A Jesus snob

For pointing out the incredibly obvious fact that yoga is Hindu? But that’s okay; as I said,o non-Christians getting mixed up in Hinduism isn’t their biggest problem. An anti-Jesus snob has something much deeper to worry about.
You just proved my point. One can yoga non-religiously, it can be JUST exercise.
Nobody is worshiping demons in yoga class.
