It's probably no more dangerous than a ouija board. I guess it depends on how serious one takes the spiritual realm.

I mean yeah, if it's just stretching, why not call it just stretching. Why include a title that has an evil past?
Well, because it's not just stretching. It's yoga -- a very specific technique that involves physical and mental balance. It's neutral -- not good, not bad. How one wants to use it is how it can become either good or bad.
Technically cocaine is neutral. It's just a plant.
Correction: COCA is neutral -- and yes, it is. Cocaine, however, is manufactured for a specific use.

This strikes me as just a little bit silly:
And even though its neutral, it's still banned in my country, because they know the potential of it. We gotta ban yoga from the Christian community.
I don't necessarily believe in banning coca either -- especially since it has helped so many people, namely the people in Bolivia. But we're getting off topic with that.
1) With so many different Christian groups, it can't simply be banned. Some Christians perceive it as a pagan ritual. Some perceive it as absolutely nothing but a form of exercise...and it's not likely they'll reach a common ground on something a vague as this. There are no dogmatic statements made on yoga itself because yoga seems to mean more than just one thing.
2) Who will specifically will ban it?
It is silly. It's like an oxymoron. It's like that "pole dancing for Jesus". There is some things that Christians just shouldn't promote.This strikes me as just a little bit silly:

The article says "adjusting" but I would say "diluting"
Christians have been adjusting their moral obligations to the modern world for the last half century. There are Christian tattoo parlors, books about Christian dieting (Thin for Him, Fit for My King), and even Christian sex manuals. On the scale of shocking modern activities for Christians, Thomas Tweed, a professor with the University of Texas, rates the pole dancing classes as "mildly surprising."

I mean look at her. What a vile cauldron of filth. Brazen, shameless wanton hussy. And she calls herself a Christian!
Not that I'm judging.
Hussy? What's that? Is that also known as a floozy, or scally wag?
I think a floozy and a scallywag are two different things.

Based on the photo I'm going with Floozywag.
Hussooziwag
Amen Ravindran, I'd say you hit the nail on the head...
I did not know. I've only heard older people use these terms, and its always about the same thing.
I agree with rav and that scripture relating. I don't think anyone would lose their salvation over it but could this scripture also relate:
hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.

What's so blatant though is she's wagging her Hussoozi all over the cover of a book. Disgraceful.
