Can Christians Practice Yoga? A Biblical Look at Its Spiritual Roots


Listen Later

In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, KB dives into a candid and often controversial question: Should Christians do yoga? Drawing from Scripture, church history, and the original roots of yoga in Hinduism, she explains why yoga is far more than physical stretching or relaxation. KB unpacks the spiritual philosophy behind yoga, the meaning of terms like “union” and “Aum,” and why its practices are incompatible with a biblical view of God, worship, prayer, and spiritual warfare.

KB also addresses trends like “holy yoga” and “Christian yoga,” lovingly challenging believers to seek discernment, not loopholes. She contrasts yoga’s focus on self with Jesus’ call to die to self, highlights key Bible passages that warn against pagan practices and divination, and closes with a powerful prayer for wisdom and discernment. If you’re a Christian who currently practices yoga—or you’ve wondered if it’s “just stretching”—this episode will equip you with knowledge rooted in God’s Word so you can make a decision in obedience to Him.

This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.
