Corrine,

I just read your post and before I say too much, I just want to state that it sounds as if the information that you have "found" or researched on line is way off base and being used as a scare tactic rather than a truthful, realistic and fair representation of yoga.

If you could, I would love for you to forward me the websites you visited or some of the links.

Let me asure you that Chrisitians all over the world practice yoga. In fact when I first starting teaching years ago, one of the first places I held my classes (before I had my own studio) was at St. Joseph's, a local catholic church.

Here's is basically, the bottom line.... ANYONE can practice yoga. Yoga is a tool that not only helps you create a more strong, flexible, healthy, body but also a calm mind, a compassionate heart and a deeper connection to spirit.

Of course, it is up to you if you want to stop practicing yoga postures but personally, I think it is a shame that you might make that decision based on false information.

While there might be websites or articles from people that believe yoga is 'evil" there is other research that claims that Jesus himself was a yogi.
And honestly, if you know what Jesus was teaching and sharing with the world and then take a look at the foundation of yoga .... it's all the same stuff. One truth, many paths.

Again, bottom line.... you do what you feel is right for you.

Hope this helps some.

Peace,
K
