Yoga Vs. Chrisitanity....
Ok i know i dont pop in here much, but i have a serious question / concern here. I have been taking Yoga classes for over a year and it keeps me in great shape!!! a friend recently told me of the controversy with Yoga and Christianity...something i had never even considered...i have never thought of my yoga classes as anything spirutual and i dont feel as though the instructors make it out to be so. I feel as though my faith and relationship with Christ are solid enough that I would never be influenced to worship whatever other God or religion Yoga is proposed to be tied to. I dont know, i dont want to be doing something that God wouldn't approve of, but the thought of quitting yoga kind of saddens me. Here I've finally found a form of excercise that keeps me in shape AND that i enjoy.
What are your thoughts or beliefs on this? Id appreciate your input.
If you want, heres the link to the article my friend sent me.
