A friend of mine, recently certified in the teaching of Yoga, invited me to attend one of her classes sometime. Is Yoga against our faith?

It might be worth going to the class to see. There are many different schools of Yoga, and each of them has many branches. It’s not a question that can easily be answered because Yoga is so diverse.

I think you will find a typical American Yoga class concentrates on exercises and breathing techniques designed to foster physical health. They will also have a time at the end where people simply sit quietly and relax.
 
Currently in the Catholic News Forum there’s some more opinions on the compatability of yoga and Christianity.
 
Why would Yoga be against the Catholic faith?

If you’re concerned about the meditation aspect, the Catholic church is into meditation/prayer big time.
