2. Yoga exercises are Hindu prayer positions and Eastern forms of meditation leave God out of it entirely, and most Catholics don’t know that they are doing something pagan when they do those things. Also, Christians don’t have karma, i.e. “what goes around comes around.” Rather, we get what we don’t deserve— God’s abundant mercy and grace.

LOL - I gotta love the logic here. Have you ever done yoga? No, I'm not talking about all of the garbage that often goes with the body positions, I'm only referring to those positions - just as you did. It is an excellent form of exercise and stretching.

There is one position that is very similar to sitting in a chair. I'm curious - will you now stand while eating and stop using your car in order to stay out of that EEEEEVIL prayer position? Get right on it and let us know how it goes.

Can’t give up sitting, or I’d never get to be at the computer desk checking on my Free Republic stuff!

I’ve never taken a complete course, but have learned some moves, and they do seem really good for balance and stretching.

I wonder what devout Hindus think of non-believers doing the moves, and what they believe their deities would think of non-believers doing “their” moves for exercise rather than for hindu spiritual observance.
