Yoga: A Spiritual Act

Yoga is often misunderstood as just exercise, stretching, and breathing without any spiritual implications. However, the physical positions in yoga actually symbolize a spiritual act of worshipping Hindu gods. Yoga cannot be separated from its roots in Hindu beliefs and deities. Even seemingly innocent poses like the Sun Salutation series, which are commonly taught in Christian circles, have spiritual significance. The poses, such as the warrior poses, are associated with Hindu deities and deliberately glorify false idols. Engaging in yoga poses means participating in idolatrous worship, which goes against biblical teachings.
