Yoga has been a popular form of exercise and relaxation for many decades in the United States. While some practice yoga purely for the physical benefits, many have been introduced to the spiritual side of yoga and its origins. The practice of yoga and the poses that are done in classes are connected to Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Because of these origins, many Christians feel as though it is idolatry to participate in yoga, while others see it as nothing more than an exercise class. Today, we will unpack the question, is yoga demonic?
This week, Dani, Aaron, and guest-host Jenna Hart Shaffer discuss:
[02:52] - What is Jenna’s experience with yoga, specifically as an instructor?
[07:35] - What are the common concerns or dangers for a Christian participating in yoga?
[15:27] - Is it possible to do yoga for exercise only and not participate in the spiritual side of it?
[17:38] - Do the origins make it bad? Is it any different than Halloween or the Enneagram?
[29:55] - Is there any way to participate in the practice while still glorifying God? What if Christians don't feel convicted about it?
[37:13] - Are there any slivers of truth that could be found in yoga as we traditionally understand it?
