the question was what is yoga and this is what some catholic prayer warriors said in a catholic forum. i think its fucked up.
Don't do it. It's not safe for Christians to do. It's dangerous.
yo⋅ga /ˈyoʊgə/ [yoh-guh]
noun (sometimes initial capital letter) 1. a school of Hindu philosophy advocating and prescribing a course of physical and mental disciplines for attaining liberation from the material world and union of the self with the Supreme Being or ultimate principle.
2. any of the methods or disciplines prescribed, esp. a series of postures and breathing exercises practiced to achieve control of the body and mind, tranquillity, etc.
3. union of the self with the Supreme Being or ultimate principle.
You can't take the spiritual nature from the physical nature of the actions.
The yogi author of the ancient writing Hatha Yoga Pradipika explained it this way, "Raja(mind and emotional control) Yoga and Hatha(physical exercises) Yoga are part of one whole, indispensable to one another. Those who try to separate them 'waste their energy fruitlessly.'"

They are all part of a hindu religious ritual. The lotus aligns "chakra" in order to "become one with god."
If you want something to stretch, try Pilates, but don't do yoga.
Yoga is aimed at becoming one with the "supreme being", which focuses on transcendental meditation, which can get you possessed. It's very, very dangerous.
That transcendental meditation can leave one open to spiritual attack is not ridiculous at all; it's a fact.
