All this also:

The five niyamas, personal practices that relate to our inner world, include:

Saucha: purity
Santosha: contentment
Tapas: self-discipline, training your senses
Svadhyaya: self-study, inner exploration
Ishvara Pranidhana: surrender (to God)

This is all YOGA

In fact, I pray WHILE I’m doing the stretching – usually the Hail Mary or the Lord’s Prayer.

Why do you have to resort to taking postures that were revealed to men by a hindu god? Can’t you just go to a physician and ask him or her what stretching excercises you should do specifically? What is it that drags you there - to stretch (forgive the pun) the boundaries of your faith?

You pray during those practices because deep down in your heart you know you are betraying your faith. You know that something is not right, you know that once you start doing yoga, you have entered an unknown ground, that something dangerous might happen because you have already lost God’s protection. You know that you have distanced yourself. I know this from experience. You know that you could have just humbly prayed or accepted the fact that you are met with certain difficulties, but instead you decided that you are going to help yourself.

I know the principles of yoga, I know it’s aim, I know it’s many branches. The only thing those practices lack is focus on humility, which is at the center of Christian faith. The reason is because we believe we are fallen beings, but the eastern religions belive that we are God, who has dreamt this reality which is in factuality non-existent. Their very practice is self-centered. The aim is to uncover the divinity, to reach Brahman. They are back at the garden, enjoying the apple. Surely, they will not die. Oh wait… their practice says otherwise. That they have to get through ego-death to get to Brahman. Oops…

If you care about truth, read this article and then the quoted book in it. It’s one of the best books on those matters.

There’s so much more… hit me up with a PM if you ever decide to read it and if you’re not convinced I’ll give you more.

I do it in the comfort of my own living room. And as I said, if it affects you so badly, don’t do it. But doing stretches in no way is going to hinder my faith!
 
John Ankerberg and Tal Brooke? That is where you go for “truth”? What do they say about Catholic beliefs?
 
So if it is the stretches and postures themselves that open us to Satan, then Pietra Fitness, Wholyfit and Praisemoves would also be just as dangerous.
 
Worship must come from the heart, not the physical posture you’re in.

Anyone who does Yoga Exercise, will easily recognize a toddler doing the postures done in Yoga.

This is because the postures help us to recover some of the elasticity in our muscles and frame that was lost over the years.

In fact, children who were fortunate enough to be taught yoga and continued to do so into their adulthood, never lost the elasticity and strength they had as children.

I’m a Christian and Jesus Christ is always at the center of my life.

Those who claim that yoga opens the door to evil, really only know evil themselves and have never experienced the divine love of God. How could they ? If they had, they would see God in everyone and everything that is good.

I watch TV like that all the time. I didn’t know it was a pose. 🤨

Actually Jesus is the center of Christian Faith, along with his Church.

Humility is a virtue we strive toward, which can not be achieved without transforming grace from God.

I have seen more humility in Hindu;s like Gandhi, than Christians like Churchill who called Gandhi a peasant and refused to meet with him.

No they don’t believe we are God, but being of God, have divine presence within us.

This is no different than what Jesus taught, that if we ask, He and the Father will come and dwell within us.

Hinduism, in fact all the Eastern Religions predate Christianity. If they all lead to demonic evil, then how is it that we Christians have caused more evil in the world then they have ?

Even the American Revolution which was a bloody conflict done by Christians, was not nearly matched as when Gandhi fought independence and liberty for India. After all, according to the opponents of Yoga, Gandhi a Hindu, should’ve used violence and hatred instead of nonviolence and love for others, as Jesus taught.

That is the crux, we have reputable sources that tell us yoga is not good because it is part of a false religion.

Believe it or not, I have experienced the divine love of God!!!

But that falls apart since

Ahiṃsā: Nonviolence, non-harming other living beings
Satya : truthfulness, non-falsehood
Asteya: non-stealing -
Brahmacharya :chastity, marital fidelity or sexual restraint -
Aparigraha: non-avarice, non-possessiveness -

Saucha: purity
Santosha: contentment
Tapas: self-discipline, training your senses
Svadhyaya: self-study, inner exploration
Ishvara Pranidhana: surrender (to God)

Are all part of Yoga also.
 
Different sources with different interpretations and often used incorrectly in CAF.

Myself and others have others that support doing yoga for exercise without spiritual content from Hinduism.

An intentional Sign of the Cross is an invocation.

An unintentional gesture resembling it is empty.
 
So you are saying this young girl is endangering her soul?

Any form of exercise can be harmful if overdone or done incorrectly. That’s why I recommend finding a class. Also Pilates is just yoga poses where you move. If you have issues with yoga, Pilates isn’t any better.
 
So explain how a Catholic priest ended up possessed, as documented by th Catholic Church ?

Suppose the same poses were Swedish in stead of Hindu, still Satanic?

In fact, when one reads Niel Bukh’s Primary Gymnastics (1925) they will find that “at least 28 of the exercises in the first edition of Bukh’s manual are strikingly similar (often identical) to yoga postures occurring in Pattabhi Jois’ Ashtanga sequence or in Iyengar’s Light on Yoga.”

I first heard about that right here:

Yoga is really a Victorian Swedish exercise program from the YMCA Popular Media
Amusingly enough, yoga historians have discovered that pretty much all the yoga practiced today in India is actually derived from a secular exercise program from Victorian-era Sweden. “Swedish gymnastics” was a system invented by one Pehr Henriik Ling. It included stretching, balance exercises, calisthenics, and massage. (Later, a Dutch guy named Mezger, inspired by Ling, invented the massage techniques which are now known as “Swedish massage.” Ling was popular.) British Army officers liked Swe…
