What is yoga philosophy, and how can Christians learn from ancient yogic teachings? Do yoga and Christianity mix? 

In the following blogs, we’ll explore the history of yoga, how the practice has evolved over the years, how worldview affects one’s understanding of yoga, and more. We will also learn to define yoga philosophy from a Christian worldview.

Do you want to understand the roots of yoga and how the practice can help you walk in greater freedom with Christ? Are you wondering how yoga philosophy can deepen your own Christian faith? Curious how to reconcile the practice of yoga with Christian theology and if yoga is spiritually safe for Christians? If you answered yes, then these blogs are for you.
