This is a thing- Christian yoga

There was a Living Social deal for yoga classes and it was near my house. I thought I'd check it out and see if the studio offered prenatal classes. Yeah, it's a Christian yoga center. They play worship music and the instructors will encourage you in your practice and faith. No offense- but this is weird. Like can you really make a business where all of your classes are like that? I could see doing a few each week, but every instructor and every class? I hate to say it but Christian music really blows too.

    If I had money to bet, it's a way of reaching the fundie element that was taught that yoga was evil/satanic/etc.

    (why yes, I was pulled from that part of some class in school, why do you ask ? :-P)

    I'll bet they do it to the "I will sing of your love forever" praise chorus song.
    (I hate that song.  Honestly, it contributed to me changing churches.  Know how it goes?
    "I will sing of your love forever
    I will sing of your love for-eee-hh-ever
    I will sing of your love for-ever
    I will sing of your love foooorrreevver.)

    (HA, I googled the 'lyrics' to that song and, I apparently missed that there is a verse or 2, then the rest of it goes like this:  

    I could sing of Your love forever
    (Oohh I could sing of love)
    I could sing of Your love forever
    (I could sing, I could sing)
    I could sing of Your love forever
    (Just to sing the praises of you, Lord)
    I could sing of Your love forever

    I will sing of Your love forever
    (I could sing)
    I will sing of Your love forever
    (I lift my hands and praise His holy name)
    I will sing of Your love forever
    (Love forever)
    I could sing of Your love...
    ...oohh sing and sing and sing and sing to you
    (I will sing)

    Ohh Ohh Ohh

    People: I could sing of Your love forever
    I could sing of Your love forever
    I could sing of Your love forever
    I could sing of Your love forever
    I could sing of Your love forever
    I could sing of Your love forever


    Ahh, praise music.

    I hate that song too GBCK. Strangely I was never taught yoga was bad. Modern dance was questionable though.
  • My hot yoga center has one teacher who is "christ-centered".  I couldn't figure out what god had to do with yoga, but whatev. We don't go to her classes.

    I did giggle on the one day where the instructor we really liked suddenly starting a prayer.  I wouldn't have called it a christian prayer, but it was defintely praying to some sort of authoritarian creator.  So, I just started saying, Oh me, Oh Divine Me, everytime he said whatever he was saying.  When we made it out of class, DH said, "When he started that prayer, I just started saying, Oh Me, Oh Divine Me."

    MFEO, i tell you.

  • do they offer christian pole dancing classes? 
  • i DO remember seeing that! 

    Old Town Spring is ~40 minutes from my house. If it wasn't for the whole Jesus element, I might need to check it out sometime. 
  • Stamp a Jesus on it and they will come.
