I know of people who were into yoga before converting to Christianity and they say that the different positions are different prayer positions used to call up the different Hindu deities, and that by assuming those positions, you are indicating to the spirit world that you are open and receptive to their presence.

Apparently, yoga cannot be separated from the spiritual aspect of it, by making it a purely physical exercise.

Wasn't aware of that...Thanks...
