What does the Bible say about yoga?
Are you looking for yoga Scriptures? The goal of yoga is to be one with the universe. In Scripture you will not find anything to justify the practice of yoga. You can try to justify your sins but remember God is not mocked. You are the creation, you can’t be one with the Creator. Scripture never says to clear your minds, but it says to meditate on the Word of God.
If you meditate on the Word you will clearly see yoga is evil and there is no way to justify it. Many professing Christians are being deceived by Satan. Do not worship God how the pagans do.
Yoga has demonic roots and it can’t I repeat it can’t be separated from Hinduism. You can’t put a Christian name tag on it and call it Christian.
You can exercise and stretch, but Christians cannot follow other religions. If you want to get closer to God you must continually talk to Him and meditate on His Word. Have fellowship with Jesus Christ.
Yoga separates you from Jesus and opens up your body to evil influences and spiritual attacks. More and more professing Christians are departing from the faith and doing things that God hates. Put on the full armor of God and walk by the Spirit so you can discern the will of God.
Don’t deceive yourself, don’t be like the world, and don’t let a false teacher tell you it is OK because these days there will be many who will tell you what you want to hear. There are no excuses on the Day of Judgment. Yoga is evil plain and simple, do not love the things of the world.
Yoga and Christianity
Satan is very crafty how he gets people to do things, don’t be deceived like most of the world.
1. Genesis 3:1-4 Now the snake was the most clever of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day the snake said to the woman, Did God really say that you must not eat fruit from any tree in the garden? The woman answered the snake, We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden. But God told us, You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden. You must not even touch it, or you will die. But the snake said to the woman, You will not die.
2. 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
3. Ephesians 6:11-14 Wear the full armor of God. Wear God’s armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks. Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. That is why you need to get God’s full armor. Then on the day of evil, you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing. So stand strong with the belt of truth tied around your waist, and on your chest wear the protection of right living.
Yoga in the Bible
Have noting to do with demonic practices.
4. Romans 12:1-2 Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God’s compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you. Don’t become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants—what is good, pleasing, and perfect.
5. 1 Timothy 4:1 The Spirit says clearly that in later times some believers will desert the Christian faith. They will follow spirits that deceive, and they will believe the teachings of demons.

7. 1 Timothy 6:20-21 Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their so-called knowledge. Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness. May God’s grace be with you all.
