info_outlineThe episode that's been a long time coming: Can Christians do yoga?
We dive into the full range of opinions—from "yoga is evil" to "yoga is amazing"—and invite you to lay down fear, judgments, and pre-made decisions. Whether you're curious, have a personal story, or are wrestling with this question, this conversation is for you.
- Can Christians walk into a yoga studio? Should they?
- What does the history of yoga tell us?
- Do the postures themselves "open you up" spiritually?
- Why the fear often centers on the body—and why that's missing the bigger picture.
Key Themes Explored:
God created our bodies in the beginning—for reaching, bending, moving, stretching, running, and being free. The body belongs to Yahweh, the one true God. Your body is not something you have; it's who you are. And your body is the place where God lives.
“I’m saying—Come out, be separate, but bring your body with you. Don’t be afraid of your body. Your body is the place God lives.”
We're not afraid of stretching. We're called to freedom: Your body was bought at a price (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), so use it to bring glory to God.
Movement reflects God's creative brilliance—just look at how the body responds to stretching and exercise. When we become afraid of our bodies, we separate from His perfect love (1 John 4:18), and the body becomes an object instead of a temple.
Scripture Highlights:
- Colossians 1
- John 1
- 1 Corinthians 6:19
- 2 Chronicles 7:3
- Psalm 138
- Nehemiah 9:5
- 1 John 4:18
- Romans 14
- Acts 17:28
- 2 Timothy 1:7
- 1 Timothy 4:8
We address the tough questions:
- Can yoga be dangerous?
- Can postures open us up to worshipping false gods?
- Why is a religious heart sometimes rooted in fear?
- The call to be informed, wise, and reconciled to Christ.
The Big Picture: God loves bodies. Movement belongs to Jesus. The body is an instrument of praise. Let's honor Him by stewarding our bodies well, without fear, and with discernment.
