Is yoga harmless? Is it just another form of exercise, or is the strong spiritual component of yoga something Christians should be wary of? Yoga means “to yoke” or to open oneself up and invite in the spirit of yoga. Yoga sutras are a basically a guidebook for divination, which God expressly prohibits in the Bible. Listen in as Jessica Smith makes a strong case for how the poses alone invite spiritual forces into our lives that have no place in the lives of Christ followers. The Bible says, “You shall have no other God’s before Me.” Let’s talk about alternatives to yoga today!

About Jessica Smith: A paranormal encounter with a psychic relative convinced Jessica of a spiritual reality outside the bounds of her Christian upbringing, projecting her on an intense quest for spiritual truth. As the mysterious realm of energies and meditation opened before her, she expanded her practice by seeking in–depth training at a Buddhist Center in California, a meditation retreat in South America, and an ashram in India. After a decade of passionately pursing spirituality, she became a certified yoga teacher and a master level Reiki practitioner. Jessica then moved forward with her dream to share these teachings with others, but strange things began to occur. Before her business plan for an instruction center was completed, a terrifying and profound spiritual encounter shattered not only Jessica’s goals, but the very lens through which she viewed the world. Truth was finally found in the one place she had refused to look. She realized the Bible was the only truth and Jesus the only one who could save her from the darkness she had opened herself to.
Since that moment, Jessica has been earnestly following and seeking the Lord Jesus Christ, and searching His Word as the only pure source of truth. Her goal is to reveal the dark spiritual reality behind yoga, meditation, Reiki, and other increasingly popularized New Age practices that are being masked in our culture and deceivingly presented as something they are not.
