Don’t try to understand the mind of a fundie christian.
I’ve heard sermons that claimed “psychology” was a religion. Their problem with yoga is similar. (It has connections to hinduism. At least that’s part of it.)
A lot of megachurches have classes/programs that are almost exactly yoga, but by a different name. The name they give it escapes me.
Hell. There are shops on Amazon that sell yoga stuff (mats, balls, shorts, whatever) without calling it “yoga” balls or “yoga” mats so christians don’t feel sinful buying it.
And yes, they’re just retailers buying yoga gear wholesale (or drop-ship or whatever) and listing it without using the word “yoga.”
Edit: Googling to find if there’s a common name for the christian version of yoga, I found this god-awful thing.
‘‘Don’t get sucked into this horrible devil religion that Yoga is! Instead, Take My copywriten and trade marked program instead. good news, for a fee we can train YOU to be a certified bottom of the pyramid scheme block so you can teach ‘‘downward facing GOD IS LOVE’’ to your local collection of suckers, saps, rubes, and marks!!’’
