Christian Yoga?

[x3_heartzz]

hello everyone,
before i used to think yoga was a practice from a different religion but i've heard yoga was a great way to exercise and reduce stress. I was thinking though is it possible for a Christian to do yoga?
my school administrator doesn't think so.(i go to a Christian school by the way)
i asked my parents and they said, "meditate on the Lord's Word while doing yoga."

i agree with your parents. while yeah yoga was started as a part of budism it is still a good form of excerise and stretching. just use that time while your doing yoga to think about what you've read in your quiet time. i would suggest if your able to. do your quiet time then your yoga and make it into one thing that way you still have your reading fresh in your mind.

think about scriptures and Pray to God when you do it
Keep your mind and heart focused upon Him as you do it!

Yeah!
As it says in His Word,
" I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. "
( Philippians 4:13, KJV)
