YOGA TRUTH ABOUT YOGA
The TRUTH About Yoga đ§đ§ââď¸đ§ââď¸
Family, there is something I need believers to understand, especially in a time where discernment is often dismissed as overreaction.
Yoga is not spiritually neutral.
I know many people roll their eyes when they read information like this. In their minds, it sounds extreme. They think, âWhat are you talking about? Itâs harmless. Itâs just stretching. Itâs just breathing.â But the Word of God tells us that we are not to be ignorant of Satanâs devices. Scripture says, âLest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devicesâ (2 Corinthians 2:11). The enemy does not always come in ways that look dark or obvious. Many of his strategies are subtle, layered, and disguised as help, healing, or peace. Intention alone does not neutralize spiritual participation.
In its original form, yoga is not simply exercise. The postures themselves were designed as acts of devotion. Historically, these positions were practiced as offerings within Hinduism, a religious system that recognizes approximately 330 million gods. These poses were never created as casual physical movement. The posture, the breathwork, and the meditative focus were all intended to invite spiritual interaction and approval from those gods, not the God of the Bible. Scripture is clear: âYou shall have no other gods before Meâ (Exodus 20:3). Yoga was created as a religious discipline, and its body positions were historically understood as physical offerings within a system of worship.
That matters.
The deeper purpose of yoga is not flexibility or stress relief. Its spiritual goal is the awakening of what Hinduism calls Kundalini, a serpent-like spiritual energy believed to lie dormant at the base of the spine. Through specific postures, breathing techniques, and meditation, this energy is said to rise through the body via chakras, or spiritual centers, producing spiritual enlightenment and power. From a biblical perspective, that is not harmless. It is spiritual activation, and it is not the Holy Spirit. Scripture says, âNot by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lordâ (Zechariah 4:6).
Now I want to be honest and balanced.
There are people who can engage in yoga and not experience immediate or obvious spiritual impact. That is true. But there is another group of people who are far more vulnerable. Those most impacted tend to be individuals who already come from bloodlines marked by witchcraft, occult involvement, or spiritual compromise. They are often people the enemy actively targets because of their sensitivity, their calling, or their unresolved soul wounds. Many struggle with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, emotional fragility, or carry deep God wounds and unanswered questions about faith. These unaddressed issues become major doors.
They are not seeking deception. They are seeking relief. They are looking for grounding. They are looking for peace. They are looking for something to quiet what hurts.
And the enemy takes advantage of that openness.
Over time, a subtle shift begins to take place. Relief is no longer credited to God. Peace is no longer attributed to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Instead, credit begins to move toward the practice itself. Yoga calms me. Yoga grounds me. Yoga gives me peace. That shift matters more than people realize, because that is often when the Kundalini spirit moves in the most.
Even among those who identify as born-again believers, some begin to experience heightened sensations and elevated spiritual experiences that they believe are from the Holy Spirit. They describe feeling more enlightened, more spiritual, more connected, or entering euphoric, utopia-like states during worship or prayer. But Scripture tells us to test the spirits. âBeloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of Godâ (1 John 4:1). What they are actually experiencing is not the Holy Spirit, but Kundalini, a counterfeit spirit posing as divine encounter, a false Holy Spirit.
In some cases, this manifests in strange or bizarre behaviors during worship, uncontrollable movements, unusual bodily manifestations, or altered states that feel spiritual but are not rooted in Christ or the fruit of the Spirit. Scripture reminds us that âGod is not the author of confusionâ (1 Corinthians 14:33).
This is how the MINDSET shifts.
People believe they are becoming more grounded, more peaceful, more spiritually elevated. But what they are often entering is a false utopia, a counterfeit peace that opens the door to deeper deception and agreements they never intended to make. Scripture warns us that âSatan himself is transformed into an angel of lightâ (2 Corinthians 11:14).
What concerns me most is how normalized this has become, even inside the Church. Yoga has been rebranded, softened, and marketed as neutral or even Christian, when its spiritual framework remains unchanged. Changing the music, adding Scripture, or renaming the class does not remove the spiritual origins embedded in the practice itself. Scripture asks plainly, âWhat agreement hath the temple of God with idols?â (2 Corinthians 6:16).
Many Christians say, âI donât do the spiritual part. I just do it for exercise.â But yoga was never designed to be separated from its spiritual intent. Scripture warns us, âI would not that ye should have fellowship with devilsâ (1 Corinthians 10:20). Spiritual doors do not respond to intention alone. They respond to participation.
This is not about fear. This is about discernment.
Not everything that feels peaceful is from God. Not everything that relaxes the body is safe for the spirit. Scripture says, âBe sober, be vigilantâ (1 Peter 5:8).
As believers, we are called to be vigilant about what we allow to shape our inner life, especially practices that claim to awaken power, enlightenment, or grounding apart from Jesus Christ.
Scripture says, âMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledgeâ (Hosea 4:6).
