Yoga has roots back to Stone Age Shamanism. Was used extensively by Buddha and has been incorporated into Buddhism as part of their prayer and meditation.
Yoga is more than stretching, a vegan diet, and hippies. Its focus is on meditation and spirituality without Christ.
Being ‘spiritual’ with a focus on something other than Christ is not a positive Christian behavior.
Ignorance is a terrible thing. It leads to rush to judgement and very inappropriate comparisons.
actually there is a difference between ancient traditional yoga and what is practiced by the more modern west,as well as the westernization of buddhism
I don’t have a problem with yoga but I can see how a devout christian might.

Later, around 500” class=”related_products_container” B.C., the Bhagavad-Gita or Lord’s Song was created and this is currently the oldest known Yoga scripture. It is devoted entirely to Yoga and has confirmed that it has been an old practice for some time. However, it doesn’t point to a specific time wherein Yoga could have started. The central point to the Gita is that - to be alive means to be active and in order to avoid difficulties in our lives and in others, our actions have to benign and have to exceed our egos.
yes, yoga was a form of worshiping the gods.
