The Bible clearly states homosexuality is a sin, but if people can be cured of it by practising yoga,
then that's the best proof there's nothing evil about yoga. Either that, or we're in the End Times, because:
How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. (Mark 3: 23-26 / NIV)
New Delhi: To one of India’s most famous gurus, yoga isn’t just about postures, exercise and meditation: It can also boost economic growth and “cure” homosexuality.

Yoga pants are increasingly supplanting jeans as the suburban apparel of choice in the US, hurting retailers like Levi’s and J. Crew, Barclays Plc analysts wrote in February...
Ramdev is no stranger to controversy. He said yoga can help “stop wrong sexual practices” like homosexuality, espousing a common view in the mostly Hindu nation. An Indian court in 2013 upheld a law passed in the 1800s that criminalizes gay sex in a setback for homosexual rights.
“Homosexuality can be cured through yoga,” Ramdev said. “This will return a man towards natural sexual behaviour...”
