Is Yoga 'Healthy or Hurtful’ For Christians?
This is a good question!
Core stretching and isometric exercises are very important for our body's overall health. The problem arises when we turn to such sources as Yoga to meet this need, primarily because we are unaware of its dangerous pagan spirituality. There are several hidden ways with each yoga pose that a person is unknowingly practicing in this pagan spirituality!
To learn more listen to this talk by Fr. Ezra Sullivan, O.P., where he addresses the topic of Christians and yoga to a group of parishioners in Cincinnati, OH. He presents the reasons some Christians practice yoga, as well as objections to practicing yoga. Fr. Ezra has done his research, and he finishes his talk with clear conclusions based on Catholic teachings. While the video is lengthy, it is very informative and well worth watching!
Church’s Teaching
If you are Catholics and you’re discerning this topic for the first time, here is a wonderful teaching by the church.
So are you now wondering, if there are safer alternatives?
Take a deep breath. Yes there are much safer practices.
So if you are discerning that Yoga is probably not the path you want to follow, and you are open to looking for other safer resources for your core strengthening exercises then I might have a few recommendations you would like to try.
But first, if you’ve been practicing yoga and you are concerned you might have not only offended our Lord, but you’ve probably jeopardized your own soul, I strongly advice you go straight to our Lord in the sacrament of reconciliation and confess. The graces received from this act will strengthen you in staying detached from things of this world.
Then after healing and strengthening your soul of this wounding, you will be ready and open to exploring healthier alternatives for your physical and spiritual wellbeing.
Here are two that I HIGHLY recommend...
Soulcore
SoulCore is a Marian prayer apostolate integrating core strengthening, stretching and functional movement with the prayers of the rosary. A sensory experience combining candlelight, music, scripture and movement to nourish body, mind & soul and encourage deeper reflection on the virtues of the rosary. Please check out their website for more videos. This company also fully resonates with what our family believes about healing the mind, body, and soul.
Five Star Guy - David Hall
I have tried running, biking, aerobics, treadmills, stationary bikes, jump roping and exercise videos galore over the past 10 years. Then time and time again my exercise regimen would die, primarily because I didn't have the time to get in a good 1 hour workout everyday.
I was not getting any younger and things had starting to squeak and hurt which played into my not keeping up with an exercise regimen. Can you relate? Well this might be of interest to you as a possible exercise outlet. Almost two years ago I started rebounding with a Cellerciser and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it! Fast, simple, super easy and really quite a bit of fun!
Here is a great video and testimony of David Hall the founder of the Cellerciser.

Reduce Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs) In Your Home
Today I want to mention another great technological resource that reduces the negative effects of electromagnetic frequencies on brain function.
They are simple EMF blockers. Just like sunscreen protects against the harmful effects of UV exposure, these EMF blocker discs significantly reduce radiation produced by portable electronic devices such as cell phones, laptops, tablets, screen monitors, radios, microwaves, hair blow dryers, etc.
Here is a great video created that talks about the dangers of electromagnetic frequencies and the use of EMF blocker discs.
I personally have these on all of our family's cellphones, laptops, iPads, and our television.
12 Steps To Wholefoods Course
This 12 months course, basically contains everything I've learned about healthy eating habits over the past 14 years condensed into one fantastic step by step program. It gives you only the best practices, rather than a bunch of time and money wasters, in achieving excellent nutrition. Just what you really need to know, and over 1,000 great recipes in the Premium Course. This program is great for the whole family too!
It teaches you habits that heal your gut. Habits that massively improve your intake of bioavailable minerals. Habits that put your nutrient dense foods through the roof, bumping out high-calorie, low-nutrition foods.
If you want an experiment in whole foods, Robyn has developed an accompanying Menu Planner, with recipes from 12 Steps to Whole Foods, menu plans, and shopping lists. It cost my readers who tested it about $100/week for a family of four.
Check out how you’re doing, nutritionally, on the GreenSmoothieGirl nutrition quiz. If you’re not where you want to be—don’t get offended—make change, instead!
