But since Yoga is part of the New Age milieu, and has these connections with Eastern religions, it is likely to be in one of those directions you mention.Joseph Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587987442560784792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-20652587741374248152017-09-06T12:06:09.223+01:002017-09-06T12:06:09.223+01:00Blogger can be a pain.Blogger can be a pain.Joseph Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587987442560784792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-23725561022197343532017-09-05T22:41:18.736+01:002017-09-05T22:41:18.736+01:00Dear Mr. Shaw:
Thank for your two part report on ...Dear Mr. Shaw:<br /><br />Thank for your two part report on yoga. By default, I have had to learn about yoga and had some idea of the history but found your work a deeper explanation. However, the connection to Hinduism seems stronger to me than what you point out. The more a yoga practice focuses on the spirit, the greater the connection to Hinduism. This comes in the form of mantras, mudras and deeper/longer periods of mediation over physical practice. In addition, yoga can become a gateway drug for further eastern/new age practices such as reiki and wicca. I know this from personal experience, which leads me to my second point. Yoga can destroy a marriage. Image you are a practicing Catholic, in the best sense of the term, and your spouse begins Yoga and moves further and further away from any form of traditional Christianity? How does God’s grace act in this scenario?<br /><br />With appreciation for your clear thinking and informative blog, <br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04761490513078920404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-43323412404878087742017-09-05T21:00:44.075+01:002017-09-05T21:00:44.075+01:00Ah, that latter 'alert' was published when...Ah, that latter 'alert' was published when I pressed the Publish button without previewing, so presumably the 'Preview' button is deleting comments typed in the Edit panel...<br />John Vaschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335331585265267754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-69840881956593026472017-09-05T20:59:20.070+01:002017-09-05T20:59:20.070+01:00Hm - Dr Shaw, just to alert you, I merely pressed ...Hm - Dr Shaw, just to alert you, I merely pressed the preview button to read my comment, and it vanished: whether into the 'published' category or into the ether, I know not! :-)John Vaschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335331585265267754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-25764175205394933552017-09-05T10:30:55.573+01:002017-09-05T10:30:55.573+01:00Interesting.

One conclusion to draw from this is that the yoga milieu is spiritually hazardous, but that many physical acts linked to yoga are in themselves harmless when detached from the milieu and practised in isolation from it.<br /><br />For example, I tend to do some stretching when I go rock-climbing and when exercising at home, and I learnt some of those stretches from a yoga class some years ago. I would not hesitate to use the same stretches in future or to recommend them to others, but I wouldn't go back to a yoga class if you paid me.Riddleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18352250581662283650noreply@blogger.com
