Can Christians Practice Yoga?

CrossYoga’s Theological Principles

We occasionally hear from people in the church community who express concern about whether yoga can be a Christian practice. We use modern postural yoga as a tool for cultivating and deepening one’s relationship with God. The following are the most central points in what constitutes CrossYoga's theological principles.

• Every human being is created by God in love and for love. Therefore, God wants a relationship with us.

• We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. It requires basic respect for all people.

• Man is a holistic creature with body, soul, mind, and spirit.

• We believe in the Almighty Creator as expressed in the Triune God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• Jesus Christ is the way to salvation.

• We believe in human growth and development through Jesus Christ.

• CrossYoga is an ecumenical and interfaith movement.
