Well Yoga was started by the new agers. So you should really watch out what the yoga teacher is going on about, cause any new age practice should be avoided since their philosophy is all through that kind of stuff.

(no offence to new agers just my advice to a fellow Christian)

In response to this thread question, my answer would be, "That's a big negative - as far as I can see and feel it!! " Yoga means "union" - with the divine. This science/discipline/practice...whatever you want to call it (BUT NOT EVIL) is over, 5,000 years and the classical practices have to do with preparation for meditation. Sure, yoga has recently become a fad that focuses primarily on the physical aspect and it's breadth and true purpose has been diluted. With roots from traditions that practice a 'direct path to the Absoulute' it is no wonder that some people have questions and fear.
My final comment is...TRY IT FROM A REPUTABLE TEACHER...and see if it doesn't help you feel more at peace, loving and closer to your God!

I think what your instructor meant was something along the lines of, the exercising part of yoga is fine, beneficial and all that, but the meditation part, if you are a true master at it and can manage to completely and totally empty your head (and not many can do this completely), then yes it leaves the way open for demons to enter. It doesn't happen very often, and not as much as it used to, but it does happen. [/b][/quote]
By Biblical Standards Evils Spirits, Demons, and Satan cannot possess the mind of a "saved" person. They can oppress but never possess. And for that matter evil thought can enter into your head whether it is "empty" or not. I am a mother of 3 kids one of which is ADHD and Bipolar and I am Biplar and Borderline Personality Disorder as well. Let me tell you that I have tons of things going through my head at any given moment and I have thought of some pretty evil things. And please give me a break when are people going to stop blaming "the devil" for every bad thought. Take some responsibility for your own thoughts people! Geez!

The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word 'yuj' meaning to yoke, join or unite.

It is a philosophical science of self - realization and transformation, independently guiding one into recognizing his fullest potential and purpose in life (Essence of spirit).

The origin of yoga pre-dates Indian Hindu and Buddhist religions and in that context, Yoga is not a religion.

In Yogic philosophy we have three bodies; the Physical, Subtle (astral) and Causal (spirit), which is the path to the integration of self or "self realization".

By acknowledging and integrating the individual aspects of ourselves from the physical, mental and emotional we can achieve a contented, balanced and above all useful life.

I've been around. I've stopped in here a few times but never posted. I've been doing well. Was on a spiritual journey of sorts. Maybe I'll share it with the board soon.

Idunno if Yoga itself is evil, can it lead to bad things, maybe...
set your mind on the things of God and you will think about the things of God, empty your mind...well idleness is the devils playground.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to keep one's mind upon "the Lord" or anyother God for that matter all of the time. We are imperfect humans for crying out loud. I don't know about you but I have a life to lead. All around me there is hussle and bussle of everyday life. If yoga/meditation up my God helps me to clear my mind of the junk that's in there WHAT IS SO "SINFUL" ABOUT THAT?! Geez! I just don't believe you people know what yoga really is.
