Millions of people practice yoga believing it is simply exercise or stretching. But is that really true?In this fascinating interview, Steve Cunningham sits down with Linda Clark, former yoga instructor and author of Yoga Unveiled: My Spiritual Journey from Darkness to Light, to discuss her twenty-year involvement in yoga, Reiki, and New Age spirituality before returning fully to the Catholic faith.Linda explains how her conversion led her to abandon yoga after discovering its deep religious roots within Hindu spirituality. Drawing from years of research, personal experience, and testimony from others, she discusses why Catholics should carefully discern the spiritual origins of practices often presented as harmless exercise.Topics include:• The religious origins of yoga• Why yoga cannot be separated from its spiritual foundation• Kundalini and chakra spirituality• Reiki and New Age practices• "Christian Yoga" examined• The meaning of "AUM," Namaste, Sun Salutations, and other yoga practices• Personal testimony of conversion from New Age spirituality• Safer alternatives for physical fitness• Why Catholics should approach yoga with discernmentWhether you currently practice yoga, have family members involved, or simply want to better understand the Church's concerns regarding New Age spirituality, this interview offers an important discussion rooted in one woman's journey back to Christ.Purchase Linda Clark's book:Yoga Unveiled: My Spiritual Journey from Darkness to Light (https://sophiainstitute.com/product/yoga-unveiled/)00:00 Introduction00:46 Welcome & Book Introduction01:29 Linda Clark's Background02:05 Returning to the Catholic Faith03:13 Conviction About Teaching Yoga03:53 Scripture Leads Her to Leave Yoga05:03 Why She Wrote Yoga Unveiled06:23 Exercise vs. Yoga07:59 Is Yoga Addictive?09:11 What Hindus Say About Yoga10:24 Stories from the Book11:18 Stretching Without Yoga12:42 What Does "Yoga" Really Mean?13:24 Yoga Is More Than Exercise15:09 Yoga's Influence in Fitness Culture16:26 Kundalini Explained18:18 Kundalini and Spiritual Dangers19:16 Returning to the Catholic Faith20:29 Rosary and Adoration20:59 Meaning of "AUM"22:36 Can There Be Christian Yoga?24:46 Sun Salutations Explained26:18 Serpent Breathing28:14 Corpse Pose and Spiritual Meaning30:07 Clergy and the Need for Awareness31:26 Yoga Even Among Religious33:34 Final Advice for Catholics34:46 Reiki and New Age Practices36:08 Opposition to the Book38:06 Personal Experience with Spiritual Warfare40:39 Final Thoughts41:50 Closing Remarks

In this episode, I'm joined by Payton Foeller, creator of Mending with Mindfulness, for a deeply honest conversation about suffering, surrender, and healing through a Christian mind-body lens.Payton shares how her diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome became an unexpected turning point—one that led her to discover mind-body medicine and nervous-system-informed practices rooted in faith. What began as a search for physical relief ultimately became a journey of deeper awareness, gentleness, and trust in God's design for the body.Together, we explore: How chronic illness impacts identity, faith, and the nervous system What mindfulness can look like from a Christian perspective The role of compassion, pacing, and regulation in long-term healing How honoring the body can become an act of spiritual surrenderThis conversation is especially meaningful for anyone living with chronic illness, burnout, or a sense that their body has become a battleground rather than a refuge.
"What if everything you thought about God was completely wrong?"—Dr. Laurette Willis, a former New Age channeler and celebrated ”Woman of 101 Voices."SHOWNOTESEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS The Difference is the Yoke: Jesus offers an "easy yoke." If your spiritual practice feels heavy or requires you to empty yourself to find peace, check the source. Motion Manifests Memory: "Faith comes by hearing," but transformation often settles in when we move. Speaking Scripture while moving helps rewrite your body's cellular memory. The Caleb Anointing: You do not have to accept decline as you age. You can claim vitality and strength to serve the Kingdom well into your 80s. Don't Diet, Live It: Throw away the shame of failed diets. Focus on the "Five Dailies": Pray & Plan, Water, Move, Journal, and Sleep. "Your body is listening. Are you ready to speak Life? Press play to bridge the gap between biology and belief—and never look at a yoga mat the same way again."
Saralyn Hamilton was what's known as a moderate drinker. There were never major problems, but she had a glass of wine or two almost every day, and it was certainly a major component of her social life. But as she came to know Christ, God began to show her that casual alcohol had become an obstacle in her faith. Today she shares how God unmistakably took her by the hand and gently led her to a life free from the bondage that alcohol had on her, before revealing other areas of her life that needed addressing, including things like Halloween, and Christian Yoga.----------------------------------------✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here! ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give----------------------------------------✟ RECOMMEND A GUEST HERE ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact----------------------------------------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith✟ LISTEN/WATCH/SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Apple: https://apple.co/4g9vU8t ⇨ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Zbg3jK----------------------------------------✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.----------------------------------------✟ WE LOVE MAIL!

Over the last year or so, I have noticed more and more the ease with which we roll into cultural “norms”. With that in mind, there are a few topics I thought it could be interesting to dip into. After all, as Christians, we should be be looking at culture with a Biblical world view. That's not to say we should be judgy. I simply assert that we SHOULD be applying Biblical principles and a Biblical mindset to the culture we are so deeply entrenched in. So. Here we are opening up this conversation with a bang. I'm back with my incredible friend and sister-in-law to discuss…. Yoga. After pulling out some research and sharing some amazing testimonies, we are excited to share what we found about the origins of yoga. Our goal today is to shed light and provide some context around our own convictions! We hope to share a Biblical perspective for what is easily considered a cultural norm. Join us today as we dive in to yoga and even a few other bonus topics (free of charge, ha)!
"Give yourself grace" is a common phrase in our culture, but how does it fit in with the biblical concept of grace?

Yoga, by definition, is "a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practiced for health and relaxation." So, if its roots are Hindu, but it's good for your health, is it something Christians can do? Check out Jacob's response to this question.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Yoga is a discipline that many have incorporated into their routines, focusing on its physical benefits while overlooking its spiritual risks. As Christians, should we be so quick to push aside the spiritual risks? Is yoga something that can be safely practiced by Christian believers? The answer might surprise you! Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with Dr. Chris Berg to conclude our four-week series on Spiritual Things with the discussion of yoga, its roots, what it was originally designed to do and the danger of partaking in its practices.
Has the spirit of the Antichrist infiltrated our world and the church? This burning question forms the backdrop of our enlightening conversation, where we decipher how this spirit is manifesting in various shapes and sizes. Alongside such a profound discussion, we'll also share some intriguing trivia - from the true origins of Chicago's 'Windy City' nickname to the surprising bulletproof properties of armadillos. Dive into a deep analysis of John 10:30-33, where Jesus proclaims his unity with the Father, and explore how this declaration fuels our understanding of the Spirit of Antichrist and relativism.As we uncover the sinister dangers of channeling spiritual entities and the alarming rise of Satanism, expect to be rattled. We'll scrutinize the evolving influence of these dark forces on society and the church, particularly through Christian Yoga and false teachings. But fear not, our discussion isn't all about doom and gloom. We shed light on the power of holiness and the exaltation of Jesus as the ultimate counterforce to these disturbing trends. Recognize the encouraging truth of God's transformative love, which can turn our mess into a powerful message. We wrap up by emphasizing the blessed hope we have in Jesus Christ, encouraging listeners to not fear the signs of the times but to find comfort in the unwavering love of our Savior.You can contact Dr. Jonathan and Dr. Marla Behler:graceintheshadowsor.orgdrjonathan@graceintheshadowsor.org(251) 244-4645*If you are searching for a clinical counselor and you live in Alabama, Virginia, or North Carolina, Dr. Jonathan Behler would be happy to see you as a client!

A reading from ‘Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future' by Fr Seraphim Rose. Kindly shared by the'Orthodox Wisdom' YouTube channel.
Fr. Seraphim Rose examines the phenomena of “Christian Yoga,” which in his day (1970s) was gaining popularity and acceptance, and offers a sober warning to all, especially Orthodox Christians. From “Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future”, Fr. Seraphim writes: “The essence of Yoga is not the discipline itself, but the meditation which is its end. The author (French Benedictine monk, J. M. Dechanet) is correct when he writes: ‘The aims of Hindu Yoga are spiritual. It is tantamount to treason to forget this and retain only the purely physical side of this ancient discipline, to see in it no more than a means towards bodily health or beauty' (p. 54). To this it should be added that the person who uses Yoga only for physical well-being is already disposing himself towards certain spiritual attitudes and even experiences of which he is undoubtedly unaware…” “Anyone who understands the nature of prelest or spiritual deception will recognize in this description of ‘Christian Yoga' precisely the characteristics of those who have gone spiritually astray, whether into pagan religious experiences or sectarian ‘Christian' experiences. The same striving for ‘holy and divine feelings,' the same openness and willingness to be ‘seized' by a spirit, the same seeking not for God but for ‘spiritual consolations,' the same self-intoxication which is mistaken for a ‘state of grace,' the same incredible ease with which one becomes ‘contemplative' or ‘mystical,' the same ‘mystical revelations' and pseudo-spiritual states. These are the common characteristics of all who are in this particular state of spiritual deception.” “Even the purely physical sides of psychic disciplines like Yoga are dangerous, because they are derived from and dispose one towards the psychic attitudes and experiences which are the original purpose of Yoga practice.” -Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future, p. 38-42, 68-69.

Saved by Jesus out of the grasp of the satanic New Age movement, talented recording artist Tailah Scroggins is gaining worldwide attention with her warnings regarding the occult. She understandably calls New Age “rebranded witchcraft” that is making even her naysayers take notice. An excellent role model for teens, Tailah uses her social media platform on TikTok to draw attention to the demonic underpinnings of popular New Age practices like yoga. Not even so-called “Christian” yoga is safe, she cautions. The history of yoga is steeped in the worship of Hindu deities and divination. Many people are attracted to the power of the occult because they are not witnessing the power of God in American churches. Base your identity on a Biblical, never-shifting definition, not worldly propaganda. TAKEAWAYS Items like tarot cards and crystals are associated with witchcraft and occult practices that Jesus warned us about in scripture Christians should not partake in any aspect of the demonic, pagan religious celebration of Halloween Tailah's new hit single Radiant describes her journey from New Age to her newfound faith in Christ Movies, TV shows, books, and toy aisles are targeting teens through toddlers with what they package as “innocent” forms of witchcraft

How am I supposed to use EVERYthing that I own for God's glory? Can Christians do yoga? How can God love terrible people?
In this video series we want to look at some of the most common things asked for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions: Should a believer practice Yoga? How should we apply the concept of having two witnesses? Is the Prosperity Gospel Scriptural? Is being homosexual or bisexual a sin? What is a Believer? What happens if my country doesn't allow divorce and remarriage? Is someone who follows only Allah a believer? Is the Siddur important? Does Leviticus 18:22 address pedophilia and not homosexuality?

Like prayer, yoga has been used in the Hindu religion and in other religious traditions to inspire peace, awaken mindfulness, and draw people closer to the divine presence that surrounds.While many people associate yoga with Hinduism alone, Christian yoga instructor Allison LaBianca says yoga predates Hinduism and can be used by people of every faith to draw nearer to God. Through her work with Holy Yoga, Allison has learned how the practice of yoga can enhance prayer lives and awareness of Jesus in and around us. She discusses the history of yoga, its spiritual benefits, Christian themes in yoga, and how Christians specifically can use yoga.This episode is ideal for those who are looking to enhance their prayer lives through the ancient practice of yoga.

BONUS Episode - Stephanie welcomes Miranda Jo Davis, author, speaker, Seminary-trained and Christian yoga instructor. Do the words "Christian" and "yoga" belong in the same sentence? Can one be a full-on, on-fire worshipper of the one true God in Christ Jesus through the Holy Spirit, and practice yoga? What happens if a Christian tells you that yoga is wrong, but your doctor tells you it is good for your body and your health? How do you reconcile these contradicting views? How do you identify toxic practices in yoga? What are the red flags that indicate a worldview that dishonors Christ? What needs to be removed from the traditional yoga practices, and what do we replace it with, to align yoga practices with our faith? Miranda brings her perspective, steeped in Scripture and worship. She has faced persecution from secular Yoga masters because of her "narrow-minded" faith. She chooses Christ every day as she serves through yoga with a Biblical perspective. She has learned to identify the elements of yoga that oppose our faith, and the ones that honor Christ. Stephanie's favorite quote from Miranda: "you can be in the world of yoga, but not of it." She has adapted secular yoga practices to align with Scripture, the one non-negociable cornerstone that will guide her every teaching. She does not dilute Truth as a very conservative Christian steeped in the Bible. We talk about the dangers of crystals, gongs and chanting. We talk about the blood of Christ that cleanses and purifies us. We talk today about worship and being truly grounded and rooted in Christ, and how this helps us identify lies from the world every day--on the yoga mat, and every area of life! Miranda shares her story from agnosticism to yoga, and then to Christian faith. She explains how she reconciles yoga with faith. If Christ is truly sovereign and lord over all, then He is Lord over yoga, and can redeem it too! There is a lot of lies in the secular world of yoga, but in Christ we can discern truth and safely experience the good of yoga to the glory of God.

Despite the comical titling of this episode, cultural appropriation is an issue that South Asians not only face but participate in. From bindis in the Halloween aisle, to Christian Yoga...from Gucci turbans to "blaccents," this episode of The Woke Desi delves into the notions of cultural appropriation versus appreciation, how appropriation comes from concepts of colonization and methods used to shame people of color, and how we see it today. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thewokedesi/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thewokedesi/support
