If yoga were a part of Christian prayer life, the Bible would have instructed Christians in yoga. But the Bible does not do that. Therefore, taking yoga into a so-called Christian prayer is nonsense and may be worse. It could open the spirit to demonic spirits. Yoga is not of Judeo-Christian origin. It is of other religions origin. Not good.

If that sounds too way out, consider this: In the Bible, the Lord has provided every bit of information necessary regarding communicating with Him. There is absolutely no mention of yoga. There is mention of meditation, intercession, agonizing in prayer as Jesus did in all-night prayer, praise in prayer, practical praying such as mentioning specific needs and expectations, and so forth.If God had meant for yoga to be a divinely recognized prayer exercise, He would have included that mode in His revealed truth. However, God has not done that. Because of that, biblical Christians call the matter over and out. Done with. No more discussion necessary.
