Is Yoga Demonic?
|
|
|
|
While numerous reports have documented Christianity and yoga to prove uneasy bedfellows, a Seattle pastor has fanned the flames of debate by calling yoga “absolute paganism” that can lead to “demonism.” In a lengthy blog post claiming to summarize the history and traditions
of yoga, Mark Driscoll employs apologetics (reasoned arguments intended
to justify a religious doctrine) to rebut the tenets of yoga and
demonstrate “why it is, in fact, demonic.”

Yoga for Illegal Immigrants
|
|
|
|
The issue of illegal immigration is a tendentious one, generating deep cultural and ideological schisms with enormous economic and personal impact. Enter yoga classes for migrants hoping to cross the US-Mexican border; Jap Singh Khalsa in Mexico’s northern state of Coahuila is offering once-weekly yoga classes to Central Americans at a migrant shelter in hopes it will facilitate coping “with the stress of their arduous and often dangerous trek.” Singh teaches the migrants how to manage the physical and emotional stress of the journey in his yoga classes.

One of the beautiful things about yoga is that people of all abilities and health conditions are able to benefit from a regular, conscientious practice. Yoga instructor Matthew Sanford exemplifies this both in his practice and teaching. He leads his classes from a wheelchair, and several of his students come to class this way. Although his students come to yoga with different abilities than many yogis and yoginis, they leave class just as grateful and relaxed as anyone else.
