The Base chapel did a Wednesday night special Bible study working through Niel T. Anderson’s the “Bondage Breaker”. One of the topics that was brought up was that Christians shouldn’t practice yoga because the different positions cause you to call upon different demons – that is why you become so flexible/strong/whatever so fast. Is there any historical basis to yoga being connected with demons?
Honestly, I am not interested in yoga. I was just asking a question to make people think and do research. The practice of yoga would in no way have me generalize about a group of people
“The question becomes, is it possible for a Christian to isolate the physical aspects of yoga as simply a method of exercise, without incorporating the spirituality or philosophy behind it? I don’t believe so. Yoga originated with a blatantly anti-Christian philosophy, and that philosophy has not changed. It teaches one to focus on oneself instead of on the one true God. It encourages its participants to seek the answers to life’s difficult questions within their own conscience instead of in the Word of God. It also leaves one open to deception from God’s enemy, who searches for victims that he can turn away from God (1 Peter 5:8).”
