How is yoga satanic?

When one practices yoga, they participate in an eastern mystical religious practice.

Even their own literature agrees with this. In one of the attached links, they even talk about a serpent, and higher consciousness. These are demonic manifestations, and you would be inviting them in your life.

Why would anyone consider this? There are those who say that you can separate the exercise component from the mystical, but that is another lie of the enemy.

People should flee from this, so they don't become a victim of the lie.

For Christians who like yoga, I refer them to what Paul says: "You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot eat at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons. Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than he is, are we?" (I Corinthians 10:21-22)

And

"What harmony exists between Christ and Beliar, or what do a believer and an unbeliever have in common?" (II Corinthians 6:15)

And for those who claim to be Christ's, yet say that yoga is permissible, hear Jesus' words: "Why do you keep calling me 'Lord, Lord,' but don't do what I tell you?" (Luke 6:46)

Christ is the Living Word of God. His Word tells us what we should do. Those who choose their will over His, are disobedient.

How Is Yoga Demonic

Aleister Crowley was into yoga. Most satanic and magic cults are into yoga. I was surprised to learn this.

El yoga es un sistema holístico que trabaja en todos los planos. En el físico, entre otras cosas, nos hace más conscientes de los ritmos y necesidades naturales del cuerpo, fortalece los músculos y huesos, retrasa el proceso de envejecimiento, aumenta la energía vital, da flexibilidad y equilibrio, oxigena y limpia nuestros órganos, beneficia nuestro sistema cardiovascular, endocrino, digestivo y respiratorio.

A similar question came up a few days ago. If you see the longer response here from an apparent fundamentalist Christian, there is your answer and it is full of ignorance, fear, and complete and utterly convoluted assumptions and misunderstandings about yoga and eastern mysticism.

"Yoga" in the West--the stuff you see on TV and DVD and in the local gym -- is an exercise routine. It's many styles generally tone your muscles and your respiratory and lymphatic systems and your nervous system. What is bad about that?

Yoga, which means "union" and refers to either self-integration or union with a divine ideal, is an umbrella term for a wide range of ideas and practices in Eastern spirituality. It goes WAY beyond physical exercises but you only have to "go there" if you want to. I've studied many forms of yoga and I am no worse for the wear. Indeed, I'm actually a very smart and healthy person.

Thats just complete bullshit hows stretching mixed woth exercising satanic

If you are a Christian you aren't under the law of sin & death. You are under grace.

So? You can do Yoga in Christ. Remembering what the Lord has said. Sweet meditations is Whatsoever things are lovely, pure, honest, true, of good report, is virtuous, etc. Meditate on these things.

And the God of peace will be with you.

It doesn't say anywhere to meditate on nothing in the bible. So? That would be dangerous. But to meditate on Gods Victory Scriptures is a good thing to do.

There is a book out there called, 'Christian Yoga'. The problem with the origin of yoga is the Eastern Mysticism. That would be idolatry. If one would turn from the God of Peace for a worlds peace.

After reading answers like dusty scribe, original yoga is demonic. Especially if the positions & meditations are on the spirit of that position. So this would open to spiritual oppression.

I know that self hypnosis will do this too. Because I have been victim of being stuck in a spell for about a year. And then being delivered from this at Church & the Holy Spirit healed me. So? I would never practice yoga because of this. Now, I know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. So? That is why I write that there is a Christian way to do this type of exercise. I would never go the rout of the demonic symbolism unless I gave the simbolism to the Lord Jesus and meditated on what Jesus said. Like the shape of the snake. I would meditate on what Jesus said to the devil like, "It is written...". We can bend in any shape we want in Jesus Name. But I would never invite a union with a snake spirit. That would be a bad idea.

because when you bend your body in ways that is not humanly possible, you are in a state of trance and possession other than the holy spirit of jesus

It is not necessarily wrong. It is like music. All music is from God, but the words, lyrics, tell more about the nature of the music and if it is for God or not.

I have heard of Christian yoga where all the meditation is geared toward Jesus.
