While it’s true that there’s no such thing as “Christian Yoga”, there’s nothing sinful or harmful about doing a bunch of stretches and relaxation techniques. This video is another fine example of extremism and religious fanaticism. These SAME people who preach against this stuff completely ignore the Sabbath Commandment (the 4th Commandment), as well as God’s dietary laws.
You are engaged in worship of Hindu deities just by performing Yoga poses.

Bullcrap.
Feel free to look it up. It’s actually common knowledge.

The Hindus do not OWN positions. You cannot separate the two, because you’re a religious fanatic. I suppose the homosexuals own the rainbow, and the word “gay”, huh? God knows if your praying to a pagan god, of if you’re simply stretching and exercising.
yoga is 100% Hindu religion. the word “om” is Hinduism so Christians browse video on “Think you can be Christian & do yoga”? & James Manjackal website. Yoga is great for Hindus alone.
+Mich Elle Hinduism or HIndu is not a religion.

There is no religion called Hinduism, which was a term created by the British. The word Hindu was created by the Greeks who used to call the people who live beyond the Sindhu river, at the time of Alexander, as Hindus.
We call our religion as Sanatan Dharma or Eternal Principle, which is for everyone in the World.
Kundalini is a fact in physical science just like heart or lungs, as all the roots of the nerves concentrate at the end of the spine. Kundalini means coiled, just that; it is not a snake or anything else. Waking up of Kundalini means, through Yoga or meditation, we can use more parts of our brain, which we do not use.
There is nothing demonic or dark or satanic.
Judaists always say everything, what they do not have, are Satanic, demonic etc.
Any church sponsoring yoga classes is a church to flee from ‘pronto’. We’re talking folks who are playing at being Christians, the kind who seek to form a god in their own image. A god who does all the stuff you want him to do. We live in a culture that lacks knowledge of who ‘Jesus” is – frankly Scarlett, they don’t give a damn
I am a 3 year old Muslim transferred over from Christianity
transferred over from Monism, and I admit that Yoga has
always freaked me out, even as a Monist. Funny thing is
the way you Christians view Yoga studios as temples of
idolatry is the same way we Muslims view Churches w/
those pictures of “Jesus”, etc (that is NOT really Jesus
btw, not the historical one anyway) and all of those pix
and paintings on the ceilings and walls, etc. …Peace…
Qonita, those supposed Christian churches that have pictures of a Jesus and statues and the like are not true Christians. A true Christian is one whom recognizes that they are a wretched sinner (we all are for all have fallen short of the glory of God) and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is LORD and Saviour. This person would also uphold the King James Bible as their final authority. My friend, I tell you this with love that you are following a false god. Allah was one of many false gods worshipped but he never died for you to give you the ability to reconcile with the one true God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Jesus, being God, came to earth as a man to be the perfect sacrifice on the cross for your sins. He was buried and rose again on the third day victorious over death to give you the free gift of grace through having faith and trust in Him only so that you may have eternal life. You can not “work” your way to heaven. Your “good” can never outweigh your bad.God bless
Ex Yoga instructor reveals the truth behind all forms of yoga http://youtu.be/Nql5Vl-HtwU
Christians should also avoid practicing karate, shaolin kung fu, etc.
Really, why?
namaste mean “the god in me bow to the god in u” …to the point.. why people in west mix yoga with religion =_=..god is present in everything ..and to the matter infact hinduism is not a religion …its way of life .
But what stretches can we do to stay healthy and relaxed..? People seem to be even labeling touching your toes as a yoga practice…
I feel so sorry for these narrow-minded American puritans with their misguided sense of guilt. Their outlook on religion is so dry and reductionist. There is no reason why Christians cannot utilise any tool that benefits their life and spirituality. We can learn much from the practices of other belief systems and adapt it to our individual spirituality.
William Brown. You have to see the history of religions , particularly ISLAM and Christianity . Read the history of world, and europe.
ISLAM and CHRISTIANITY are falsehoods, based on fear, force, terror, slavery, blind beliefs, superstition.
ISLAM and Christianity fought religious wars for hundreds of years, called JIHADS and Crusades to establish their evil, supremacist, imperialist, hegemonic , fascist, totalitarian, dogmas – by invasions and conquests.
ISLAM and Christianity are bankrupt religions.
NO, rational, reasoning, logical thinker will accept these demonic religions ISLAM or Christianity !!!
Which evil, cruel, demanding, punishing God is true ? ISLAMIC ALLA or Christian YHWH . You no longer believe in YHWH , but depend on jesus ?

Jesus went to India to study and came back to Palestine to preach ” Non Violence is the greatest religion”, the same as what Buddha and Krishna said.
Dipak Basu lol
It doesnt matter if you are a christian or a muslim, you can do yoga. But dont rename or rebrand it. First off all, no one is forcing you to do yoga so you dont have to rebrand it just to remove pagan influence. And the fact that you are renaming it just so you can do it shows how good it is.
And actually, yoga as a whole is hinduism. You can remove the mantras or anything but to its core its a vedic practice.
Second, the main goal of hinduism is to achieve Chit (consciousness) and ananda (peace). So our atman (soul) can become paramatman (supersoul, god of hinduism).
Paramatman is SAT (existence), Chit (consciousness) and ananda (peace). And yoga is one of the many ways to achieve these two qualities.
And in christianity it is a blasphemy to say “I am God”.
WITHOUT MANTRAM -YANTRAM AND TANTRAM ARE OF NO USE –“USELESS TINSEL”
MANTRAM CAN REMOVE BOTH TANTRAM AND YANTRAM –BUT THE REVERSE IS NOT POSSIBLE
EXAMPLES=> (1) SIVA MAANASA POOJA
(2) IN MAHA BHARATHA,BHEESHMA PITAMAHA IDENTIFIES DRONA ACHARYA –FROM WHAT THE GRAND CHILDREN DESCRIBE ABOVE THE MANTRAM -DRONA USED TO TAKE THE BALL FROM THE WELL
-KUSCA WAS JUST A TANTRAM
(3) IN MAHA BHARATHA- AFTER THE WAR -WHEN ASWATTHAAMA TRIES TO DESTROY THE CHID IN UTTARA’S WOMB -BHAGAVAN SRI.KRISHNA MAKE THAT ASTRAM =MANTRAM POWERLESS
(4) SASTRAM IS THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL WEAPON –ASTRAM IS “MANTRAM”
(1) SIMILARLY IN “YOGA'” THE AASANAM (DELIBERATELY WRONGLY TRANSLATED AS “POSTURES” IS TANTRAM –“POWER” IS IN MANTRAM
(2) IN IDOL WORSHIP -THE STONE IDOL IS SIMPLY TANTRAM –MANTRAM IMPARTS “POWER” TO THE IDOL –WITHOUT IDOL(YANTRAM /TANTRAM)–MANTRAM WILL WORK –BUT NOT THE REVERSAL WAY
(3) THESE ARE ALL BASE ON BELIEF IN ANY RELIGION
PADHANJALI YOGA SUTRAM-3-1- SAMAADHI PAADHAM -23 – 24 -25-26-27 =>WILL CORROBORATE => MANTRAM WILL WORK WITHOUT TANTRAM
23=> “ISVARA PRANIDHAANATHVA”
25 => “TATRA NIR ATHISAYAM SARVAGJNA BHEEJAM”
26=> “KAALENAANA VACCHETAT ?
27 => “THASYA NAAMA PRANAVAHA”
IF 23-25-26-27 ARE NOT RELIGION –THEN WHAT IS RELIGION ?
KONDAY MAANICKAM ?
25 => WHAT IS SARVAGJNA BHEEJAM ?
ATHARVA VEDAM =>
“GA”KAARA POORVA RUPAM
“A” KAARA MADHYAMA RUPAM
“ANUSVARA CYAANTHA RUPAM
“BINDHU(red-dot)UTTARA RUPAM ”
OM ‘GAM” GANAPATHAYE NAMAHA
YO”GAM” GANAPATHAYE NAMAHA
27 => “THASYA NAAMAA PRANAVAHA ”
“PRANAVAS SVARUPA VAKRA THUNDAM” (Muthu Swami Dheekshidar)
IF THIS IS NOT RELIGION -THEN WHAT IS RELIGION -KONDAY MANICKAM ?
YOGA IS 101 % DHAARMIC RELIGION (HINDU -JEENA-(JAIN) -BUDDHA and SIKH)
I just fell into the dumb part of YouTube.
The only take away from this video was when he said Christian marijuana. That was pretty funny.
Christians can do yoga – sensibly.
What do you think in your mind when you do exercises in the gym? Do you look at the bodies of others exercising and think something odd? You are sinning my friend. Do you recite psalms in your mind when you are on the “tread mill”. Or say some prayers, or at least “Halleluya” “praise Jesus”. When the Israelites worshipped, they bent down to the ground saying “Hallelujah”. Did they do an yoga pose ? It is immaterial what type of body bending, stretching you do. It all matters what your mind is doing. Can you think about good things that Jesus did when you do exercises, whether it is called yoga or plates or stretching. In fact South Indian village church worship is more than yoga! Yes, men on the right, women on the left sit down on the grass mats that are spread on the floor with folded legs. . Kneel pray. Bend down to the floor and pray. Stand up and sing. Again kneel. Sit in sukhasana with legs folded and listen to the sermon. They do not get back pain. But they do not chant “any Hindu mantra”. Chanting the names of foreign gods is sin. Chanting “Halleluyah” is NOT. Please have a look at these two articles of interest
1) “Christian Yoga is not an oxymoron”

2) Christian Yoga Practice Guide

If you chant foreign gods names and get possessed by them then it is your fault. It is not bending and stretching. It is submitting yourself to the so called guru and making your self a slave that gets you.
Every walk of village life is full of yoga exercises only.
The so called yoga has more than 1900 poses that there is nothing that we do is not yoga. If you say we should not do any yoga pose, then most of South and East Asians cannot expel the waste from their stomach as the way they sit in their toilet is an YOGA POSE!
ISLAM and Christianity are falsehoods – fascist, totalitarian, dogmas . imposed by fear, force, , terror, slavery and sex slavery.
you’re an oxymoron because you know nothing about yoga it’s basic breathing and stretching about who you meditate with as long as you meditate with Christ in your mind that’s all that matters anything you do that glorifies Christ and the Lord Jesus is all that matters plus he look in the mirror do you go to church on the Sabbath day the fourth Commandment do you abide by that do you go to church on Saturday the true Sabbath day I didn’t think so!! So who made you perfect? I thought Jesus was the only perfect one uvideos stinks she has something positive and something nice to say about Jesus then stop being a fake vigilante Christian and take your testimonies elsewhere because you’re nothing but I hate me because Jesus speaks peace and love and all people like you fake Christian give us good Christians again and I just want to take a moment and apologize to all people in the world have ever been hurt by someone who called himself a Christian but hurt you in some way because everyone who calls himself a Christian supposed to be kind and christ-like and be good and nice and loving and peaceful so my apologies to you people who have been hurt by any Christian anyway for the one idiot who made this video get educated breathing and stretching and thinking about God and praying to God while your breathing and stretching is getting in tune with God mind body and soul there’s nothing wrong with that actually it’s a positive thing if you do yoga and you’re thinking of Buddha or Lord Shiva or ALLAH or Ganesh.. that is sin against Christ but as long as what you do is glorifying Jesus Christ you are doing what christ asks of us. yoga is not one of the ten command meta seven deadly six basic breathing and stretching you can do that in your living room and if you’re thinking about God while you’re doing it. Already asked us to meditate and always look for his face and all that we do some fake Christian tried to scare me away from my yoga of 10 years and it worked for about a year but I went back after I prayed about it and the Lord told me I never did anything wrong you talk to the Lord anyone reading this and don’t agree with this idiot who doesn’t know his butt from a hole in the ground… As long as you are not idolizing anyone else but Jesus Christ in your mind while you exercise you’re allowed to exercise some yoga is just the name of it is a yogini is nothing but peace there are teachers in this world like Gandhi Andrew De we spoke of peace they’re not bad people they’re actually good people but you are not to pray to them or bow down to them if you are a Christian only Jesus Christ for he is the one true God but I’m not here to preach to you about who you should believe it because Jesus gives you all free will unlike a lot of forces you to believe in him and Muhammad otherwise you will be killed so my prayers go out to Muslim all around the world many of you are stuck in your religion what to get out of it and just an FYI up to the ding dong who made this video saying yoga is wrong… I never bow down to any Graven image doing my yoga but I stretch and breathing exercise I picture Jesus Christ and recite Biblical verses so how you like me now? Jesus loves me by the way you better start going to church on Sunday cuz you’re breaking one of the hugest Ten Commandments and that is number 4 by the way which says Thou shalt other thy Sabbath day and keep it holy ..and the Sabbath day is the seventh day and the seventh day is Saturday so if you or anyone that you know is going to church and worshiping God on Sunday you have fallen into the devil’s greatest defeat against Christ because the devil is the sun god Lucifer and any1 who worships on Sunday is and has been worshipping the devil over all these years he’s decades these centuries… Yes the times may have changed but God’s word never does and neither do morals and values 🙂 I hope by now you have fallen to your knees and I’m praying to God for forgiveness and God bless you sweetie and I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over you we’re going to church and worshiping on Sunday the devil’s day because you have been tainted anyone who worships on Sunday get checked… This is been put upon my heart to tell everyone and that is what I’m doing because God the Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross for all of our sins has asked me no he told me he put it upon me upon my heart to tell them about the truth regarding the Sabbath day 4th commandment and you people are going to either love me or hate me n I welcoming it either way the love or the hate because I’m all about the truth and if you hate me that means you can’t stand the truth but the truth will set you free. so you’re going to have to make your choice eventually and we’re already into biblical prophecy this day and age so if I were you I would try to get right with Christ and follow those Ten Commandments if you don’t know which day one is or what 1 mean look it up and talk to God about he will let you know the truth as long as you are with him 100% real all in… And not being a phony Christian in Jesus name I plead the blood of Christ over all people oh Lord forgive them for they know not what they do help them to realize the truth of your Commandments and that you’re not playing around. also those who are fearing yoga please let them to know it is okay as you’d let me know when someone tried to fear me one year ago but finally you helped me learn that it’s about what is in your mind and what is in your heart as you say hope faith and love and the greatest of these is love which means that what is in your heart when you breathe and stretch as long as Christ is in your heart you are right with God Amen Jesus Christ name I pray for all good night toodaloo
yoga offers the way to penetrate spiritual world. christianity says that you can do that only after you have cleansed your soul of passions, bad thoughts, which will connect your heart, which is the center of all feeling, to God through attainting of Holy Spirit. Ordinary man is not capable of fully cleansing his soul of all vice, but the fact that he’s at least trying is an indication of the right spiritual path. The danger with yoga, as I see it, is that you can get connected with the spiritual world, which has demonic presence in it as well, and be unprotected because you have entered it illegally, so to speak, that is you have not taken the pains of fighting the evil inside yourself. also in christianity you know personal God, you know you want to become his image, and unite with the Father, but in hinduism, who are you dealing with? devine emptiness? the universal truth? who is your god? you have 40 million gods…
Christians should also avoid mathematics, counting, and using the dial pad, since the numerals 0 – 9 come from Hindu
Irwan Santoso Noo the numbers and Alef Beit come from Hebrew
Once again, religious brainwashing at it’s best. Drop your bibles and wake up!!!
Jesus says if thy minds eye be open then thy body be full of light
