Each to his own - a friend of mind a bit older than me does that Bikram Yoga - now that I think is a little off the wall.
"Bikram Yoga is ideally practiced in a room heated to 40 °C (104 °F) with a humidity of 40%"
Kinda like exercising in the sauna if you ask me - but then she's like a greyhound - needs walking 10-20 miles a day..
They actually pay to get cooked and tenderized at the same time...

Whatever you submit yourself to becomes your master. Of course satan does not want you to believe there is anything wrong with yoga. Just a few stretches and breathing exercises. What can be wrong with that?
I used to play squash and swim and I did stretching exercises to loosen up before exercising and was able to do prolonged periods of the sport. Why then do we need yoga as it cannot do anything that normal exercise can do and which if you do do it, you are submitting yourself to an evil spirit which will only tell you lies because it is the truth that sets you free and for a Christian the truth comes from the Holy Spirit, not a Hindu spirit.
You can justify Yoga all you want but to be involved is to submit yourself to a foreign spirit and you are heading for trouble.

Interesting that all the negative posters in here don't even realize that little pic they post is an avatar:

Not really because I'm not buying into the superstition being spread in this thread.
As the poster quoted from the Yogi - there is no Christian Yoga.
But the problem with just using the googley spirit to find something negative to say without having any real cognizance of Yoga as a spiritual discipline rather than as is being discussed here as the use of a VERY good series of exercises then we end up with all sorts of off the wall "mantra" like comments.
Martial arts have a religious background or philosophy to them so are Christian supposed to abandon that also?
Practicing the physical exercises associated with Yoga does not make one a Hindu anymore than people sitting in a Christian "church" makes them a Christian.

Yoga means to yoke does it not? For what is yoga's intention to yoke one too? Lol also nice mantra pun indeed! Surely ye know why the eastern witches utilize mantras in their yoking.
I myself see nothing wrong with exercise, like many have pointed out before me, one can do exercise without yoking yourself to any demonic doctrines of buddhism or hinduism.
As for martial arts, aye many indeed are rooted in eastern mysticism, which is rooted in demonism as well. Not sure on all martial arts, but alas I am no martial artist.
Lol though I must say I am rather disappointed ye do not wish to change your avatar. Was thinking maybe we start a No Avatar club on CC.

I don't have an issue with "avatar" - if the owner of the site had access to the source code (it looks like Vbulletin) and has some programing knowledge it could easily be changed.
He could change to name "icon" but then we'd be falling into Eastern Orthodoxy and that might cause a war with a few Roman Catholics on here...

"yoga means to yoke, and we’ve been over this before, the whole idea is to yoke with Brahman, this is the manifestation of the Hindu deity, Brahman."....Dave Hunt
"So, to be yoked with Brahman actually means to become one with Brahman, in fact, in Hinduism you have this saying, That thou art. I used to know it in Sanskrit but I have forgotten it, Tom.".....Dave Hunt
" So, yoga is a denial. A Christian who practices yoga, and they are going to get into the spiritual side of it, although they claim they are not, they are denying what the Bible says just as the Christian psychologist has denied the promises of scripture."....Dave Hunt
Can Yoga Be Christianized?

IVe never done yoga before, but a few years back I went to ONE Zen aerobics class. I don't understand the significance of positioning oneself like a stork and stretching muscles that aren't supposed to ever be stretched but I literally could not move well for 3 day and was in tremendous pain. That taught me enough to stay away from any of that stuff including yoga. Lesson learned the hard way.
Yes there is - but it's origin is from Hinduism so you are trying to use a "get out" card.
As for Dave Hunt - that bastion of brainwashing *snicker* he's quite laffable really - a purveyor of the Pope's church as the whor.e of Babylon...
Hunt is right up there in Jack Chick awards....
