Yoga Uncoiled - From East to West DVD

Customer Rating :

Many believe they can practise a kind of yoga that is devoid of yoga's spirituality, not realizing that yoga is an inherent part of Hindu philosophy which teaches man and nature are one with divinity. Today, yoga is experiencing a worldwide renaissance. In America alone there are more than 70,000 yoga teachers working in 20,000 locations. Although viewed primarily as fitness instructors, these trainers are in reality the leading missionaries of eastern mysticism in the west. This multi billion pound a year yoga industry is marketed to students, athletes, businessmen, pregnant women and senior citizens, promising them solutions for stress, lack of concentration and issues of self confidence. Once viewed by Christians as a pagan import from the East, yoga has now become mainstream in 'the church' through 'Christ-centered yoga classes' designed to help improve spirituality and experience 'the presence of God'. But is yoga's mysticism compatible with historic Christianity? Video-journalist Caryl Matrisciana, who was born and raised in India, returns to her native land to search for truth among India's leading experts and examines what Christian Yoga practitioners in the West are saying about their Yoga participation. With critical discernment, this hard-hitting and informative DVD explores the ramifications that flow from dismissing yoga's core spirituality, and blending Biblical terminology and truth with the false eastern meditative techniques and practices.
