Yoga = Evil?
#6

If I'm not mistaken, yoga places the participant in a 'suspended' state where he/she is instructed to 'free their minds' of any thoughts. Yoga as what most people think is a form of relaxation and majority do attest that it does relieve them of stress after a hard day's work. There is nothing wrong with seeking some form of relaxation but it's the 'free your minds' state that we have to be wary of. When you 'free your mind', you subconsciously lose control over both the physical, mental, emotional and meta-physical aspect of yourself. That's why people feel so relaxed after a yoga session. Losing control opens up the door for other beings or spirits to take control. On the extreme it leads to demon possession which does not usually manifest itself straightaway. Allowing other beings to take control we lose our free will which is both a God-given opportunity and responsibility.
We could say that as long we, as Christians, know our limitations when dealing with yoga, it would not take control over us. But then, there is a thin line when it comes to dealing with these things and often we realise we have crossed over the line only when it's too late.

Personally, I'd rather have my daily devotions in the morning, to start the day right before any stress, conflicts, and anxieties would attempt to ruin my day.
