As a recent former yoga teacher of 7 years - she is bang on. I could tell you so much. First of all, it doesn’t even matter if you’re practicing traditional yoga like hatha, kundalini or more modern yoga like flow/vinyasa classes - it is all the same. They are different branches from the same tree. You are still invoking this ancient demonic practice while just ‘stretching’ at a modern hip yoga class. I used to teach all over my city at 3 different studios. My classes were always full. The interesting thing is the same people would come every single week and often would call my classes their ‘church’. I would feel so great hearing that. My ego loved it - I thought I was helping these people. .... Another interesting thing no matter what style of yoga class you go too, the common denominator for every single class is savasana at the end - a pose where you lay motionless spread out for 5-10 minutes meditating. What’s interesting is the name savasana translates as ‘corpse pose’. So after allllll of that body movement, opening your body up with these postures that were created to worship & honour hindu deities (whether people are aware of this or not), then everyone collectively lays down mimicking being dead. Then after in a traditional yoga class you usually chant after that. If you’re just going to stretch - let me tell you there is no way that this will not start to affect you negatively. Usually after , you are hooked and you need more and more and more. Soon it’s the only thing that calms you after a hectic week - not God - but you’re yoga practice. Then soon after you just can’t relate to people you know because they aren’t as ‘in tune’ as you are , vibing like you (you jokingly say to your family/friends that they need yoga), and then you start to distance yourself from those who don’t get it. The phrases start to rub off on you, ‘we are all one’ for example and ‘a reflection of me is a reflection of you’ then you know you are caught up in new age religion . My point is: it’s a very very very slippery slope. All of that peace and mindfulness you think you are attaining is ever so slowly taking you away from God and your prayers... and instead makes one self obsessed with what they need and how to find it within, instead of in the Lord. I hope this can help someone who is confused about the slippery slope. Great video 👍🙏

How exactly does yoga invite in demons? Where does the bible teach these things? If you teach something you do know 100% is true, you are a liar. She doesn't know factually what she says is true, she has not sciptural evidence to support these claims. Most Christians actually do yoga without even knowing it. You ever use the prayer hands position while praying? Well... this is actually a yoga technique, known as the anjali mudra. It's not mentioned even once in the bible. Did you feel you are opening door ways to hell while praying, because you used this yogic hand position? Ofc not. There is an awfully huge body of science showing how beneficial yoga is. If it's so "demonic" why is it helping so many people? One of the most hypocritical things in the world, is peole who drink liquor, and then say yoga is evil. Anybody with eyes to see that liquor opens doors to demons, that's why I don't mess with the stuff. Never heard of someone doing yoga, and going home to go beat their wife and kids. There is no such thing as a "yoga instructor," this is some made up American stuff. A yogi is an ascetic, essentially a monk. They renounce all worldly posession and dedicate their life to prayer, meditation, and helping the poor often times through healing.

Angela's convicted testimony showed me exactly what I'd been needing to cut off!!! I've had other things to iron out since, but I've been clean from new age and it's all thanks to Angela and me realizing I needed to pray for Jesus to pull me through, and worship him and my Father alone!

The word Yoga comes from Sanskrit word "Yuj" which means to "yoke" or "union". It's a word that can be used in many contexts. Yoga Asana is the physical practice of yoga where one unites breath and movement together. The practice of Yoga Asana is a secular physical practice designed to improve our physical health. Many people in the West, when they think of Yoga that's what they're referring to, the breath-movement practice. Breathing deeply, stretching and strengthening the body is healthy. If Yoga Asana isn't your jam so be it! But if you practice Pilates know that the creator, Joseph Pilates drew from Yoga Asana and Tai Chi to create Pilates to help WWI Vets.There are so many beautiful people from around the world that contribute their own unique cultural gems to the collective of humanity. If people don't want to practice Yoga Asana that's okay! But labeling Yoga Asana as a form of demonic worship is extreme, uniformed, and xenophobic.

Your comment demonstrates your ignorance of Yoga. No Hindu will tell you Yoga is exercise. In fact, to the Hindu, to say so is insulting and disrespectful to this religious practice. It is a deeply rooted spiritual practice, and those roots are the Hindu gods. If you have not read the Vedas or the Upanishads as it pertains to Yoga, or studied it's origins in detail, then you have no idea what you're talking about. In fact you sound like a typical leftist, hurling insults without any knowledge of what you're talking about or the facts of what's being discussed. Calling the former Yoga teacher "uninformed and xenophobic" in all honesty just makes you sound idiotic. Xenophobic people don't take on the practices of people from other countries because the very definition of the word says they are prejudice against it. And to call the former Yoga instructor uninformed? Yep, that makes perfect sense, even though what she broke down to you in the video can be found in the Vedas, Yoga's source writings. Please grow up, get out of your feelings and do some actual research on the topic before you go insulting people who obviously know more than you. Practicing Yoga is demonic because there are no other gods but Christ. All others are demons. To practice Yoga is to worship other gods, to worship demons. You don't have to like it, you don't have to agree, but that's the reality. I highly suggest you read the Vedas for yourself so you can at least have some knowledge on the subject.

This is spot on. The darkness that came into my life through yoga is difficult to articulate fully without sounding like a crazy person. But I would wake in the middle of the night(usually around 3am)and feel like there was a presence in my bedroom. This went on night after night until it got to the point where I was fearful of going to sleep. By the grace of God I was able to out 2 and 2 together (eventually)and saw that this was coming from yoga. So I stopped practicing yoga immediately and got rid of everything from the new age. The night terrors stopped and never returned. Yoga is an open door to demons, I know this may sound extreme but if you practice yoga my challenge to you is to give it up for 3 months and remove all things associated with the new age from your life. I guarantee you that your life will improve in every way.

@@desertrose0601 (I’ve posted this on another comment, but I believe this would be beneficial here too). I was always taught you cannot separate the “physical” from the “spiritual” aspects of yoga. Yoga in Sanskrit means to “yoke” (unite/connect to something). Yoga was never meant to be used as a sole physical exercise but rather as a “physical” way to connect to pagan deities in the Hindu religion (which has hundreds of “gods”). How this applies to your question regarding if just doing the “poses” is okay…I’ve included the below statement from a website - /won’t let me post it…but it speaks on the origin of some of the poses used/. “It’s not just a bodily pose, or even a series of bodily poses. Rather, it’s more than that: the term yoga means “to yoke” in Sanskrit. This “yoking” connotes a spiritual unity, rooted in a kind of servitude. Now, Christ calls us to bear his yoke (Matt. 11:30), but what kind of yoke does yoga put on practitioners? Or in other words, what kind of servitude does yoga bind its practitioners to? We can start by looking at the poses. Take some examples: The three-part Warrior pose invokes the god Virabhadra, who was created by another god, Shiva, to murder Shiva’s father-in-law. The three poses imitate the sequence of the murder. Matseyadrasana and Gorakshasana are named after Hindu gurus who founded the style that led to modern yoga. According to the foundation legend, they used their occult powers to commit theft, adultery, fraud, rape by deceit, corpse desecration, the murder of Matsyendra’s son, and cross-dressing. According to the founder of Rasa yoga, Sianna Sherman, Goddess pose “invokes” the dark goddess Kali, known for making clothes out of the body parts of slain enemies. Yoga devotees sacrifice children to her in India to this day.” I hope this helps in your discernment as to whether to continue with yoga or not. They are other alternative stretching poses that do not offer homage to pagan deities that one could do. + God Bless +

Im so confused. Im 43 and have multiple injuries from years of physical labor. I refuse to take pharmaceutical pills and especially pain meds. So my alternative to drugs is moderate exercise, cardio and daily yoga and stretching. It started as physical therapy for an injury but now its a habit and one of the frw things that keep me mobile. My intention was never to worship anything my entire relationship with streatching is to heal injuries that make me not mobile and it has worked. Accusing people of demon worship for stretching and physical therapy especially when it helps with their health issues seems unusually cruel. I dont know anything about demons but i can tell you all about when i can and cant walk well because my injured muscles swell. For reference i was in a car accident in 2014 and i still struggle from the injuries and the only way I am even able to walk is through stretching.

If you're Christian and would like to learn more, please read the comment. I'm a practicing Hindu from India and I've been following Daily Wire and Michael for the conservative values and even find the catholic content shared on the channel to be quite meaningful. It is true that Yoga is a spiritual practice with physical benefits and not the other way around. Though this lady seems to be sharing half knowledge which is dangerous. It is yet another problem with yoga teachers in the west taking an aspect of our culture and teaching it without having an understanding of its origin. She shares that Brahma is the creator therefore He must be the Christian God and Shiva being the destroyer must be the devil which leads to the natural conclusion that Yoga must invite demons. She fails to mention that Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu are the Holy trinity in Hinduism, the three manifestations of the Supreme Spirit. They perform the different cosmic functions of creation, preservation and destruction. If the message in this video was that practicing yoga is incompatible with practicing christianity, it would make a lot more sense. It is just naive and paranoid to assume that an entire culture of Hinduism is dedicated to the worship of the devil. I mean no offence just felt like sharing what I knew to break away from echo chambers and share in the marketplace of ideas, I can elaborate further or answer questions. God bless you folks

People in the west often conflate Yoga with the physical postures, however there are four paths of Yoga (union with God) described in the Bhagavad Gita which share the same goal - 1) Karma Yoga (Path of Service/ Righteous action) 2) Gyana Yoga (Path of Knowledge) 3) Bhakti Yoga (Path of Devotion/ Worship) 4) Raja Yoga (Path of Meditation) The goal of the physical postures is to help aid one pointed focus during meditation. Of course, there are spiritual powers, known as 'siddhis' one gains by the progressing along the path of meditation but these are described in the Gita as distractions from the ultimate goal Edit: Gyana spelling correction

I will be really honest here which might hurt your sentiments, so forgive me brother and I will understand if u will hate me after reading this. Am an Indian Christian and we don't see the entire Hinduism as devil but only certain gods such as shiv and maa kaali are perceived as one or usually those deities where black magic/tamasic rituals is involved.

@KrishnaaaPurohit

​@@endisnear306 Don't worry brother my sentiments are not easily hurt. There is no reason to perceive Shiva or his consort Mahakali as devil. Scriptures describe Shiva and Parvati as the divine embodiment of Consciousness and Energy respectively, the divine masculine and the divine feminine. Parvati took on the wrathful form of Mahakali to slay the demon Mahishasura. Speaking of black magic, every religion in the world has followers who develop esoteric practices which are practiced in secret. They don't represent the essence of any religion. For that it is important to refer to the scripture If we are to take symbolism from one religion and look at it through the lens of another one, you are bound to arrive at wrong conclusions. For eg: The snake is used to symbolise the Kundalini Energy and the snake represent evil through a biblical lens. And if you take the symbolism of wine in christianity, it is bound to look evil through the lens of another religion

@@KrishnaaaPurohit the way you perceive shiva and maa kali is different from what most indians would. Black magic is seen evil and dangerous in Christianity and even some hindus stay away from it. Most hindus i know practice satvik puja which I think is positive in nature but I would clearly stay away from those who practice tamasic Or black magic. Similarly I would do the same in the West who practices rituals in pentagram etc. My mum converted to Christianity solely because her religion ( animism and shamanism) practiced witchcraft. Coming to wine, not every Christian sect drink wine just because it is symbolic but wine has been used as a metaphor for jesus blood. It's the Catholics that take metaphor literally and drink wine ( on a daily basis) Because Catholics tend to merge local customs and traditions ( including local witchcraft) into Christianity. Anyway, I appreciate your understanding and humility and love towards a non hindu, after all in the end love between two inter religious people is the greatest.

@@ammasophia4663 be careful as the Bible says the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). It also says abstain from all appearances of evil (1 Thess 5:22). I know that God showed me the spiritual darkness involved in yoga. The body positions are worship to Hindu gods. As Christian’s that’s toeing the line, you can stretch your body in other ways without dishonoring God almighty. Narrow is the way that leads to life and few therebe that find it (Matthew 7:14) 😌 love not the world neither the things that are in the world, if any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. (1 John 2:15) Let’s meditate on the scriptures which truly heal and set free. No need for other false avenues of peace that lead to deeper darkness.

I think this is one of those grey areas of freedom of having stronger faith to eat meat or drink wine. Because based on the former yoga teacher's logic, if someone started a new cult or religion to worship demons by the act of driving, does this new religious practice now monopolize on the act of driving and therefore it would be forbidden to do so? I guess all Christians can't drive anymore once someone develops this religious activity in hopes of contacting demons. She made a point about intent not mattering and that the reality is whether you realize it or not the practice itself is bad but I think intent IS what matters here. Prior to hinduism being invented, were the yoga stances were okay by her logic? The form itself intrinsically has no evil in of itself, but what it represents, but if you go based on that precedent, any new made up forms of practices that have bad intent can now make it immoral to do anything. Can't have it both ways, if this is the precedent you want to live by, that any false religious practices are off limits because of what they represent for SOME groups of people, that dictates what you can or can't do as a Christian and if someone starts worshiping a false god by driving, therefore driving or any other practical activity can be made off limits.

True, I’ve seen it first hand myself. When I was young and naive I got invited to a yoga type circle where they told everyone to practice breathing and essentially open yourself up etc…sure enough a few minutes go by and the lady sitting directly next to me suddenly started breaking out into intense demonic laughing. Something for sure entered her and just started laughing hysterically, and she was shaking vigorously. I’ll never forget it…it was a warning sign to everyone there and I am glad I witnessed it because it was one of several reasons I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ.

The way you lose the baby weight is called giving birth. It's not the "baby weight" you were trying to lose if you had already given birth, it's your own excess weight. Don't blame your baby for it! If you take advantage of pregnancy as an excuse to eat twice as much, fine, but then don't complain, and don't blame your child. And by the way, doing yoga, or any other type of physical activity for that matter, is not the way to lose weight. Eating less crap is. There's no need to gain weight (on top of the baby's) when being pregnant. You just have to eat healthily and _stop eating_ when you feel full. The human body is a tremendous machine, especially a pregnant woman's, and it won't tell you to stop eating until you _and_ your baby have had the food you need. Listen to your body. Funnily enough, that's a thing yoga teaches you to do. Maybe you should have done yoga. It's not too late!

This woman is extremely anti-Catholic, so watching Michael praise the Sacraments to her was great.

A counter to this is: you can do yoga stretches without being a Hindu follower. Imagine someone who invented their own stretches not knowing they happened to be yoga poses as well. Is that person inviting the demonic? No. If a satanic worshiper eats steak every Friday at 7 pm, am I a satanic worshiper as well if I do the same? No. Intent at heart posture plays a role here. I just happen to like eating steaks at the same time, and that doesn’t make me a partaker in their religion or their beliefs. The same goes with yoga, if you are a Christian and you are doing certain yoga poses for the physical benefit only and consciously reject anything and everything that has to do with anything Hindu you are free to do so

I watched a bunch of women at my church go down the yoga path and they all ended up embracing gnostic heresies and "deconstructing" their faith. It's wrecked my church. Yuri Bezmenov talked about the KGB's interest in yoga and how it was a great path to subversion.

I watched the whole video to see if there were any legitimate criticisms. This whole conversation is just woo-woo cop-out nonsense between two people circlejerking each other by making seemingly OH-SO-BOLD-AND-POLITICALLY-INCORRECT statements that American Christians would LOVE to hear, but in reality, if you ACTUALLY sit down to tease apart what's being said, it is just FEEL-GOOD NONSENSE and there is ZERO justification for any of the arguments being put forward. 100% of the arguments made in this video are presented to be "self-evident," when it's not (e.g., Jesus is *the* way - whatever that's even supposed to mean). I don't even want to get started about how much of a cop-out it is to start leaning on cherry-picking random verses from the Bible rather than actually making a valid argument. After around 15:30, she uses "If the wine is pagan, the fruit cannot be holy" as if it's some sort of reasonable justification to her argument. But it's not. Because I can also pick another Bible verse that means the exact fucking opposite. From Ezekiel 18:19-23, "The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son" can be used to get across the literal opposite meaning. Biblical verses are NOT meant to be used as an excuse/crutch for your inability to argue critically. You gotta ARGUE for your points, not just state them, which makes this whole thing a weak, tribalistic take.

You do not understand the Bible because you have not read it. Read it and then just a verse will be meaningful and you will get the meaning of the conversation.

The intellectual level on both sides is about the same wavelength. The Gospels are journalism. 😂

In a world where children being shot at school, a man steal and kill his fellow human being but you know what's evil and we should stop first an act of meditation and stretching which calms the mind and stop people from doing those sins mentioned before because it is written in an old book. CHRISTIANS!!!!

Mindfulness as part of DBT(dialectical behavior therapy) has nothing to do with light and love. It's something that every human should know and be able to do. It's just being aware of what's going on with yourself, learning how to calm down when upset, basically just learning how to be a productive, functioning member of society. It means being someone that isn't so caught up in every emotion you have that you can't function- as so many people are these days.

In my darkest of times i turned my back to the lord and it was awful. When i found my way to him again, my life turned around and is filled with so much love like never before. I still attend a yoga class, but i also just bought a bible to study. I am in a state of doubt what to believe, because i have always felt good practicing and have never had a negative experience like some people describe here. But i also don't do any other things like tarot or astrology. It never felt right. I want to and i do believe in Christ, i have felt him in my heart, everytime i pray i feel an overwhelming sense of gratitute and love. I guess i just have to trust him to guide me and help me find truth, not my truth, but the truth through him.

You could try forsaking yoga based on its Hindu roots, and take up another form of exercise with stretching! Swimming is a good option for being slow and relaxing. I went to a yoga class a couple of times and while I made excuses for it, I remember little things seeming weird like the instructor saying to face the East, and the fact that it took place at sunrise and focused a lot on breathing and meditation. The thing is, we can’t integrate or become more fully ourselves to escape our brokenness and sin. Christianity teaches that we have to go to Jesus for healing from sin, and no amount of understanding ourself better or quieting our mind is going to fix it. Keep leaning into Jesus! :)

You’re going to have that “doubt” because that’s the trick of the Devil. When I took all of the “new age” out of my house, I threw my tarot cards into the firepit. All of it. I couldn’t bring myself to light the match because I kept justifying trying to keep them. “They’re really cute! What if I just keep them for decoration? I won’t use them”. I must have pulled them out of the fire at least 5 times. That’s when it clicked for me. Why couldn’t I let go of a deck of cards? What have I REALLY been doing that I have such anxiety over something this silly? I was so wrong. I went into storage and got my Bible out, and it hasn’t left my bedside table since. Where my crystals and incense used it be, now sits the Holy Bible. I’m so grateful I trashed that stuff and gave my life to Jesus.

I’m a group fitness instructor, and go out of my way to tell people that my Wednesday mornings class is NOT a yoga class, but just a good full body stretch class. We don’t get into ANY weird “spiritual” stuff, we just make sure our bodies are staying mobile, especially since most my students are seniors. The most we do is some deep breathing exercises at the very end to help with relaxation. But I’ve always make sure my class doesn’t really look like a yoga class.

"for god love his world and son so much ! that he put him into a human evelope just so he can watch him die ! all of it, without even letting him know. it is that his death have a magical redemption impact on you, because you believed in the book that say so. and it will extinguish ALL SIN" that it ! jesus does not die to prevent a war or anything just, there is no justice in him. he died because he said that his death is redemptional to your sin. while in reality he was just condamened by the romans and did not what lie he can make up his mind with. if this god named jesus is really real ! he could only be a devil ! he did this cross belief and "the blood of jesus will save you" only to get humanity brainwashed. - Jesus will wield a sword when he returns for judgment day, christians does portray him as a violent figure. - Christians should accept Jesus and suffer for him in order to escape demons, gremlins, monsters, and hellfire. - God, in order to manifest on Earth, impregnated a human woman to give birth to a 100% humanified God. - Jews will betray Jesus and the Romans will execute him, but his death somehow magically extinguishes sin. cause this simple execution is in reality all the sins of the world that jesus carry on his cross while he is crusified he is not put to death because the romans sentenced him. but because he somehow magically extinguished sin by dying. god is so much great and so smart and love you so much that he sent his only son to die without letting him ask his choice "father why have you forsaken me" but somehow his death is magical and save ! read john-13 he still is god ! (jesus ret*rded logic) - the book of Revelation claim that only the elected or those who believe in the man-made book will be saved, while others will go to hell.

I get that Yoga is bad when practiced as a religion. And yeah, I've met people who obviously treat it as such without even realizing that's what they're doing. But what I don't get is how just using a bunch of physical movements/stretches/poses as exercise in itself could be bad--e.g. P90X Yoga, which doesn't get into any of the kooky stuff (unless you count the "ohms") and as far as I can tell is just meant to be part of an exercise routine. That is, how could a physical pose or movement be inherently evil, absent some evil intention or something?

So I don't see how you can say they're inherently a prayer, any more than you can say any sound the human voice can make is inherently a prayer, or otherwise inherently evil. Same applies to language in general. There are no inherently "bad" words, but there are plenty of ways to use words badly. And same goes for technology and so on and so forth.

It’s bad for the same reason that praying to another god is bad. Someone can claim that it’s just a bunch of words put together. There’s nothing wrong with words, right? So it’s not big deal. God wouldn’t care. But most actual practicing Christians would agree that reciting prayers made for another god is bad. Regardless if that person is not reciting it religiously. Yoga is a set a poses made to specifically made to worship Hindu deities. No one is saying stretching is bad. In the same sense that words aren’t bad. But when you’re doing a ritual that is for another deity it becomes evil and sin. You don’t have to do yoga poses the way they’re laid out. You can do other stretches and still get the same results. I think the question is why it has to be yoga. Why can’t the people just stretch especially if you get the same results? The attachment to yoga is weird especially if they’re knowingly doing poses that worship other deities. Is yoga that important to them, if all they’re looking for is an exercise. It’s definitely spiritual for them, under the surface. They go to it for peace, instead of prayer and Jesus. It’s an idol they have that replaces Jesus. Overall bad for spiritual health.

Certainly not in it’s current form in the culture. But the movement of yoga is only spiritual when done in the spirit of yoga. The act of Stretching and posing is not demonic. It is in the practicing of yoga’s spiritual elements that it becomes demonic. Which begs the question of whether or not it is yoga or simply stretching. But I think it needs to be stated that doing a cat and cow stretch to help your back is not demonic

I've been considering yoga for a while for exercise and to help with my anxiety. Now I think I'll just go with aerobics.

While I completely sympathise with the discussion and the views of this lady, I want to clarify the point about inviting demons. The demons or the negative energies are seen as manifestations of our cardinal sins who put barriers in spiritual growth of a person. Another way of looking at it is that they are the tests that a person has to pass in order to attain Nirvana or Moksha(liberation from the world). People who jump to practice without actually studying about the path and the dangers associated with it, are usually the ones who get terrified by these experiences and this is where the guidance of the Guru comes to rescue. So, yes advanced yoga is a spiritual practice and people should only engage under the supervision of a spiritual Guru, not Yoga teachers like this lady. P.S- Only Asanas are not sufficient to awaken Kundalini, you need to go deep in meditation to do that. Asanas are generally used to obtain a body that can handle such powerful energy as Kundalini.

It seems you know nothing other than foolish arrogance and ignorance of spiritual powers and principalities that are always at odds with God and His people. It's foolish to say that, while ignoring the fact that this practice invites ANY AND ALL DEMONS that are being prayed to, directly by those who fully know what it all means or indirectly by those who don't understand what it means. A pagan, Occultic practice is always gonna be one. And frankly, yoga is nothing more that that. A prime example of such a demonic invitation being done is my grandmother doing it inside a church building: a HOUSE OF GOD'S PEOPLE. The results of it are a beyond cluttered house )with piles and piles of shit collectables stacked to the ceiling in ALL parts of the house), a bunch of mice, rats, lice, and all forms of decay and disease in the house, mold and mildew is all over the place, and more. The entire house should have a "condemned" sign on it, since it is inhabitable by both building code and by health code standards. It is because she dabbled in "Christianized" Yoga that this all escalated the way it did. And it isn't a welcome atmosphere of environment. Well, that and one of my youngest cousins cannot go five minutes breathing without abuse from my grandmother and everything else in that condemned house. God damn those who treat another human being that way, especially when they are family who was forcefully separated from a dad who did nothing wrong except marry into the manipulative side of the family. In contrast, the house I help with and live in is clean, cluttered (mostly due to the cats on the counters), dusted and cleaned regularly, the floors are the cleanest in comparison, and we don't have a single shred of demonic presence. That specific house is a Sanctuary for the Lord. There is an overwhelming peace that comes, especially to when we have guests. So, yeah. From my experience AND what I have seen, Yoga is dangerous, thanks to the demonic nature of the practice.

Yoga has eight limbs stretching, the poses (asanas) are only one aspect. You don’t have to practice the other to get the physical benefits. Also, listen to 19:44-19:50. Here are the eight limbs of Yoga. 1. Yamas, the five moral restraints: Nonviolence Mindfulness Truthfulness Non-stealing Moderation Non-hoarding Interestingly enough, the same things Christianity teaches. 2. Niyamas the five observances: Purity Contentment Zeal, austerity Self-study Devotion to a higher power (what’s stopping you from having your higher power Christ, The Trinity?) 3. Asanas: postures (Stretching) 4. Pranayama: Mindful breathing ( You breathe pretty much do breathing every second of every day. What's the problem with simply bringing your awareness to the fact you are breathing?) 5. Pratyahara: Turning inward (Self-reflection is a big part of Christianity. Being aware of your sins and holding yourself accountable for them, asking God for forgiveness requires the ability to turn inward, self-reflection.) 6. Dharma: Concentration (What's stopping you from concentrating on Jesus Christ, The Father, the Son, The Holy Ghost?) 7. Dhyana: Meditation (What's stopping you from meditating on Jesus Christ, The Father, the Son, The Holy Ghost?) 8. Samadhi: Union with self and the object of meditation (If the object of your meditation is Jesus Christ, where’s the problem exactly?) I watch Micheal Knowles daily. I think he is a great role model. In my not-so-humble opinion, this wasn’t one of his best works.

​@@jaydub7386 I think I can see where you're coming from. Please consider the following: One may do yoga to seek health benefits, but that's not what yoga simply is. Does it bring health benefits? Yes. But yoga is not simply stretching. It's a religious practice that involves many things - including stretching. From a logical standpoint, marketing a spiritual practice as stretching is, well, a stretch. It's simply not just stretching. Imagine the following: an indian travels to Italy, lives at a monastery for 2 years, then goes back to India and opens a studio with a practice called "Agnus Dei". People ask him what it is. He says "it's exercise", and proceeds to kneel like a monk and do the sign of the cross, then pray the Our Father in gregorian chant. "It's pure exercise", he goes. "You develop you back muscles and thighs after kneeling so much, and your shoulders for doing the sign of the cross. You also achieve mental accuity and peace of mind after meditating on the luminous mysteries of the rosary for twenty minutes". Celebrities start practicing it, and soon enough therapists are recommending the secular exercise of Agnus Dei and praising its wonderful benefits for body and mind. We now have moms all across India carrying their babies, rosaries and monastic garments to studios around town. Does it seem fair to you to market this as exercise and health practice? I invite you to take a step back and really analyze what the promoters of yoga actually did in the west. Perhaps they weren't malicious. But they were certainly greedy and careless. (btw, I'm not saying every yoga teacher and enthusiast that came after is the same: those are blameless as much as their ignorance) To sum up: you can't do these things without engaging in a religious practice. If you want to stretch, stretch. If you want to be a religious yogi, do yoga.

Look more into this. There are far more details and irrefutable proof in this, just by looking at the exact origins of Yoga and which "gods" are being worshiped with each pose.

From Catholic Answers Website: "No, yoga is not inherently evil. Practicing yoga is not an occult activity, and it does not necessarily lead one into involvement with the diabolical. Yoga is a non-Christian Eastern spiritual practice that involves bodily postures, breathing exercises, and meditation and Christians should not pursue it as a spiritual path. That said, the bodily postures and breathing exercises common to yoga may be used by Christians for non-spiritual exercise."

@@sophiathesophisticated1383 I see my last comment was deleted. I do like things about Catholicism. But the rituals, I think the praying to anyone but God is wrong. And is idolatry. And that room with the statues of demons, then the other with the room shaped like a snake.

@@kylethedalek Do you fold your hands when you pray? Do you bow your head sometimes when you pray? What do you mean by "pray"? Do you ask your friends to pray for you?

These videos and conversations always make me reconsider many of my hobbies and habits that I consider "removed" or "separate" or "have nothing to do" in relation to my spiritual life and my journey in Christianity. It makes me think and make adjustments.

Wait. Are you being serious or sarcastic right now? Because in this comment section it’s hard to tell. But if you seriously think “pets” can be “demonic” (lol) I want to laugh at you. So let me know. Thanks

If u don't want to do it just because of ur Christian faith doesn't allow u dont do it , but certainly hindu is more deeper philosophy than yours which , so refrain from doing it and don't call us demon worshipers just because u can't comprehend our philosophy

Thank you Angela you brought the deepest of the deep about Yoga, truth hurt and not easy to accept the truth. World is swayed by lies.

It's great that you guys talk about it. In my ignorance, I practiced yoga for 6 years. I started in 2013 at the age of 29. My life started to get miserable, it got to the point of not being able to pay for the "school" and the instructor proposed an exchange, I would work for the "school" and I could go to the "classes". I accepted the proposal, and in short, in 2019 I left practice with panic syndrome. During the pandemic, I reaffirmed my baptism in the Catholic Church, and my life changed from dirty water to the finest wine! Jesus welcomed me and I am very grateful for that! I practiced SwáSthya Yôga of the DeRose Method, here in Brazil. I believe it may be the worst of them, as it involves absurd things between instructors. I can't say much, but please, by God, don't do any kind of yoga!

@@colormet-shirteriacomercia6647 Minha nossa! Seu anjo da guarda estava de prontidão e você ouviu. Não sei se vc é H/M mas para ambos os gêneros é pura depravação depois que você se torna um instrutor de alto nível. As mulheres são menosprezadas, apesar deles alegarem ser um yoga matriarcal. Aham! Lavagem cerebral total, mesmo. Eu não passava de grau (Graças a Deus!), pq não queria preencher as exigências, apesar de que fui a melhor aluna da minha unidade, mas foram anos sugando minha alma, minha alegria... Minha vida! Hoje em dia é raro vc o ver falando de yoga pq fedeu pro lado dele. Poderia falar por semanas da minha experiência e do que fiquei sabendo quando saí. É uma seita!

I’m currently doing Pilates, but I did yoga for years at LA Fitness. I am a born again Christian and always used yoga to calm my mind, slow down and listen to Jesus. At the end of class with eyes closed I would pray. Sometimes I would feel an emotional release and cry. I am very sensitive to demon energy ( I have felt confused and anxious if someone was in my home and had a demon attached, say an alcoholic relative) but never once felt this in yoga. It just enjoyed the exercise and relaxation. There was no clearing of minds. Just challenging exercise!

Yoga is a ritualistic practice. Just because you do it and think of God doesn't mean you aren't doing a ritual from another religion. Its still sinful and against God.
