Is there really any legitimate objection to the practice of Yoga from a Christian perspective?
Back in 2014 a Catholic priest from Donegal, Ireland, called on his parishioners to stop doing yoga. He called it “contemptible”.
He voiced his objections in the parish newsletter by saying:
“As followers of Jesus Christ we should not partake in deeds that go against our religion. Accordingly, you should not take part in yoga, thai chai or reiki.
Do not put your soul in jeopardy for the sake of these contemptible things,”
Of all the issues to be harping on about. Is there really anything more trivial to be getting hellhound about? I’m obviously not Catholic myself, but I do practice Yoga for fitness and relaxation. If anything this objection, is quite frankly odd.
