Christoga?

Christoga - Christian Yoga

Christoga is a non-traditional hatha yoga practice at beginning and intermediate levels using scriptures from the Bible as the meditation focus. The positions strengthen and lengthen muscles as well as improve breathing, concentration and balance. The progressive guided relaxation phase is both comforting and restorative. Therefore, regular Christoga practice (at least 3 times a week) will improve your ability to perform activities of daily living. Strengthen both body and soul therefore improving your quality of life!

Why not just call it what it is . . . Yoga.

Yoga and pre-exercise stretching aren't quite the same thing, though they are VERY similar.

Pre-exercise stretching is meant to loosen the body up before exercising, to minimize the chances of injury. Yoga is performed along with breathing meditation, and its health benefits are not just for the body, but for the mind as well.

Yoga is more then streching. It is a mind body exercise.

I guess they feel the need to make the distinction that they are doing "Christian Yoga", probably because of the associations people make between Yoga and Hinduism. It really looks no different from standard yoga just change out Jesus for Bhagavan, Isvara, Brahman or whatever and it's yoga.

This is commodiification at its best.

Aum Hari Aum!
