So Should a Christian Take Up Yoga?

I was discussing with a Jehovah's Witness about choices of exercises to keep fit and the subject of Yoga was brought up.

She pointedly said that: "No, for all the religious connections involved with it, I don't think I'll want to do Yoga!"

I was sort of taken aback at the narrow-mindedness, but...I had to agree though that yeah with the chants, incense and psychic powers that one could tamper with while doing certain poses, breathing or abdominal exercises (etc...trust me, I'm speaking from experience here)...she might have a point you know...

However, I do believe that if one simply does the exercise aspect of it, I mean like a Yoga class at the local YMCA (or any gym) or Pilates or even the royal court exercises....a direct Yoga-esque descendant, I don't think it's that harmful for a Christian.

Hey, just about any stretch looks like Yoga really you know, so what don't stretch...let's try to apply some common sense folks...


Anyone care to comment?
