Why Yoga Can't Be Christian

Yoga is a Hindu (Sanskrit) word which literally means yoked or united. This union is between the practitioner and Brahman, the gods of Hinduism. Hinduism is expressed in Yoga practice that combines the physical and the spiritual. You cannot practice the physical without being influenced spiritually. The poses are positions of worship to false gods like Kali, pictured here. The Hindu poses, mantra's and chants invite serpent energy to indwell in the practitioner and take control as the victim detaches from reality in preparation for death which is the real reason behind this religious practice.

Don't be deceived, find out how most Christian practitioners of Yoga are seduced into performing poses of worship to Hindu gods not knowing they are slowly being manipulated by the spirits they entertain. Spirits that are hell bent on destroying your faith and stealing your salvation.

“One of the most glaring examples of New-Age distortion is the usage of the word “yoga” to simply mean a form of physical exercise. Completely contrary to the facts of the Hindu/Yoga connection, equating yoga with just an exercise would be like saying Baptism and Communion are merely and underwater exercise and wine tasting, respectively. To see how ludicrous is the Yoga as exercise notion, imagine a non-Christian offering classes (and “certification”) in Baptism (as an underwater, holding one’s breath exercise for a fee)! There is a form of Yoga that deals with physical postures. This (actually most minor) form of Yoga is called Hatha Yoga and are actually worshipful postures and an integral link in the Hindu religion.” Swami Param of the Dharma Yoga Ashram, Classical Yoga Hindu Academy

Hindu American Foundation: "Although the Western Yoga community fully acknowledges Yoga's Indian roots, and even requires study of Hindu philosophy and scripture in most of its teacher certification programs, much of it openly disassociates Yoga's Hindu roots. While HAF affirms that one does not have to profess faith in Hinduism in order to practice Yoga or asana, it firmly holds that Yoga is an essential part of Hindu philosophy and the two cannot be delinked, despite efforts to do so."

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Unequally yoked means that you are more influenced by unbelievers or another religion.

In 1991 Hinduism Today writer Palani, Sivasiva when discussing Hindu evangelism in the west said, "You will see..a small army of yoga missionaries - hatha, raja, siddha and kundalini - beautifully trained in the last 10 years, is about to set upon the western world. They may not call themselves Hindu, but Hindus know where yoga came from and where it goes."

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

"There is no physical yoga and spiritual yoga. If it is exclusively physical, it won't be yoga. Yoga is dealing with the entirety; it is a union." - Prashant Iyengar, son of B.K.S Iyengar

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].

These are some of the symbols of Hinduism. The main symbol is the Om. Om or Aum, as it is also spelled and pronounced, contains three syllables. The three syllables are significant because they represent the three gods of Hinduism, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Brahma is the god of creation and created the universe, Vishnu is the god of preserving the universe, and Shiva is the god of destruction.
