I’ve heard “you know you’ve made God in your own image, when it turns out God hates all the same people you do.”

But as already said, Yoga may actually predate Hinduism, Hinduism may comment on it later but it doesn’t mean the religion predated Yoga.
Some people call Yoga a science, I can see that as well.
It would become a complex matter to start separating Yoga from culture and the religion that came later.
I guess India and I know China had complex civilizations when Christ walked the earth.

I haven’t read the whole thread so I don’t know if this article from EWTN has been mentioned
Yoga - Is it Permissable for Christians
From Catholic Answers
The Trouble with Yoga
The few post I read seem to be understanding yoga as the religion where others are understanding it as the exercise. The WII fit has exercises that they label yoga there is no mention of religion. According to some here that the simple act of doing these exercises is worship. This is a false understanding of worship. In order to worship, you have to have an intent to worship without that it isn’t worshipping. From the article on Catholic Answers

Would pay to read a more reliable source, Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that everybody and anybody can edit or contribute - therefore not reliable. As you can see that the page is frequently edited.

How does one lure a group of people into dangerous occult practices and into Hindu god worship without calling it such? Advertising and marketing is key. Marketing yoga as a special inner “science.” The idea of a scientific basis to the programs is appealing and seemingly credible thus drawing in people initially weary.
We are told that a hundred years ago to get this kind of yogic insight one would have to leave everything and follow a guru for many years. However now, the deceptive ploy goes, we can learn it all in these simple basic techniques. The part about it not being a religion is a blatant lie. The part about it being a science is partially true. Certainly NOT in the way it is advertised… This advertising of yoga as a science is not new and actually is a common marketing technique of various institutions with Hindu roots.
Ex-guru former yogi Rabindranath Maharaj states it correctly when saying ““There is no yoga that is purely physical” and “there is no Hinduism without yoga and no yoga without Hinduism.”
My opinion really means nothing. Your opinion really means nothing. It is only the will of God that really matters. Don’t just believe me or anybody else but pray for yourself to the Lord Jesus and ask Him to reveal the truth to you.

You are using old information, not everybody and anybody can edit it. Therefore your statement does not appear accurate.

Father Pereirra is a Catholic Yoga practitioner who as covered in this thread already, was entrusted with responsibility to help those in need by Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa’s opinion matters, not mind.
As far as what you are quoting, it appears Fundamentalists websites seem to be running those essays I see.

What he seems to mean is that you may be doing exercises and stretches but with out the Hindu wolrd view it is not “Yoga”. But even then he is wrong since we have also seen that Buddhist practice yoga.

When the pranayama aspect starts to occur it is the beginning of the spiritual yogic induction for people practicing asanas. Some of the most frequent troubling signs that can occur when experiencing pranayama are: physical blockages resulting in undiagnosable pain, sometime debilitating; intense body heat; loss of normal life activities; mental/emotional disturbances; and psychotic breaks. These are just some of the signs of kundalini activation.
The primary goal of yoga is not just exercise but to activate the serpent.

Our library has a book on Thai yoga (may be done in a heated room), so that area of the world may well have seen the yoga phenomenon grow in a universal way, for that region at least. I don’t know if Thai yoga would have the same precepts.

Do you believe kundalini exists?
If so, didn’t God create us with it?
If not, why be concerned?

No, God did not create us with a serpent in our sacrum. According to some articles on freemasonry kundalini is the seething energy of Lucifer(satan) One is tapping into satanic realms. One title I have heard for this luciferic power is “divine mother”! wow, if that is not a direct insult to the Blessed Virgin Mary/

Rocket in your pocket, serpent in your sacrum - I’m pretty sure such descriptions are figurative, not literal…

seething energies of Lucifer sounds pretty descriptive too

He can speak all he wants but Catholics are under no obligation to believe everything he says. This is not dogma, such as the Assumption.

Kriya Progression or possession?
As kundalini transformation progresses, the central nervous system has increased capability to strongly charge and move the larger muscles of the body. When our mind is quiet, our body moves spontaneously and we are certain we did not decide to make the movement. Kriyas increase over time. The first kriyas are like small jerks or spasms and typically involve a small section of the body or a few yoga-like poses. After the reprogramming of the nervous system that happens with the full-blown kundalini transformation, there is increased ability to surrender CONTROL OF THE BODY to the HIGHER SELF. The first full-body kriyas feel like we are suddenly coming alive and filling with light energy, but still we do not move. From consecutive surrenders of body control, the higher-self and kriyas gradually get stronger. As we get stronger kriyas affect larger portions of the body. Sometimes we are positioned into yoga-like poses, and feel energy releasing from areas of the body related to the pose.
As the transformation continues and the nervous system expands, the kriya movement becomes more flowing and yoga-like. This happens because the central nervous system has changed enough to move the body from a control center in the brain. The control center is wielded by the higher-self. Still the kriyas are not graceful like dancing and not enjoyable because they are done to open tissues in the body, and it feels more like an intense physical therapy. Eventually the kriyas WILL TAKE OVER THE BODY while in a meditative state. Sometimes the body moves fast and may roll around, similar to an epileptic fit. During these kriyas, it is common to hear bones and ligaments snapping and popping. When I was a few years into this, the kriyas were so smooth that you could not tell my body was moving with non-voluntary control. The kriya stretch became my focus, because allowing higher-self to take over body control was the most effective way to do the transformation. It is me after all"
This excerpt is from a yoga teacher who describes a type of possessed state when a person yields to the serpent. When a person becomes fully possessed satan gives them all sorts of amazing and creative abilities that they did not have before.It is incredibly deceptive and is said by some saints to be part of the antichrist religion that manifests toward the end times.

I wonder why I’m not floating though… or getting closer to giving my supervisor the new website content she just asked me an hour ago.
