Some critics argue that Yoga and Christianity cannot co-exist, and yet we know that Yoga is not a religion. However, that depends on your opinion. But, while I was reading about someone who claims Kundalini is “new age witchcraft.” Another person also stated, “Good Christians should avoid the devil’s exercise,” in reference to Yoga. These claims are interesting because ministers and priests have been practicing meditation for centuries, without any complaints.
Honestly, it depends upon what you meditate about; and in truth, within some schools of Yoga, Hinduism, or Buddhism is taught. For me, this has always been a conflict, as I love Yoga, but have no desire to change my faith. In fact, the many teachings of Yoga and meditation are non-sectarian. Now, if Yoga were a religion, which would it be? The principles of Yoga are universal.
Yoga practices, and meditation, give many Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and Moslems, a closer connection to God, but there will always be someone who feels tempted to change their faith.
