Summary

Mary welcomes back Dr. Alana Arguello to discuss “The Yoga You Don’t Know”. The best way to address this New Age practice is by taking it step by step, making sure we understand by the time we are done that yoga does not belong in the Christian life. There is no amount of justifying or reconstructing it to make it anything other than Hinduism. Even if you don’t practice it, does your wife? Are your kids being groomed into the New Age in the schools? What about the health food industry, and their claims of a spiritual connection through such things as tea, or supplements? We talk about all the things that people think it is, but it is paganism, pure and simple, and God warns against it. In this day and age, if a believer even says “paganism” in public, people tend to be puzzled by that, it’s so – old-fashioned. And that proves a major point of the discussion today, thinking we can repackage something and, “poof!” it’s real meaning disappears. This is one of those myths about yoga. Dr. Arguello is an apologist specializing in yoga, Eastern worldviews, apostasy, and where it all fits in with the Bible. She serves on the board of the International Society of Christian Apologetics. Her book, “Unearthing Yoga’s Ancient Roots”, can be found here. Here’s a transcript – click here.
