Summary
Having grown up in the Buddhist religion, Jonnathan Truong understands firsthand the dangers of yoga and yes, why he believes Christians should avoid it.

I urge you to listen in today! Show Notes: http://heidistjohn.com/blog/podcasts/jonnathan-truong | Send a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heidistjohn/message
