Yoga’s Occult Roots: How This Hindu Practice Invites Demonic Influence
🧘♂️Yoga’s Hidden Dangers: A Christian Deliverance Perspective
Yoga is often viewed in the West as a harmless form of exercise, promoting health and relaxation. But the origins of yoga tell a very different story—one that opens believers to serious spiritual deception and demonic bondage. As Christians, we must be vigilant about practices that originate from pagan religions and lead us away from the truth of Jesus Christ.
🔍 Where Did Yoga Come From?
Yoga originated over 5,000 years ago in ancient India and was practiced by Hindu ascetics and mystics. It was never intended to be just a physical workout. Every pose, breath technique, and meditation practice was designed to awaken spiritual energy and unite the practitioner with Hindu deities.
The word “yoga” means “union” — specifically, union with the universal consciousness, not the God of the Bible. It is the gateway to achieving “samadhi,” the superconscious state that bypasses rational thought and merges one’s self with Atman, the Hindu concept of the Universal Soul.
Scripture warns of this:
"What fellowship has light with darkness?" – 2 Corinthians 6:14
⚠️ The Real Purpose: Awakening the Chakras and Kundalini
In yoga, the chakras are believed to be spiritual energy centers along the spine. Each yoga pose (asana) and breathing technique (pranayama) is meant to stimulate and awaken these chakras, especially the one at the base of the spine—where the kundalini serpent energy lies “coiled.”
Kundalini is a Sanskrit word meaning “coiled serpent.” It is the spiritual force yoga seeks to awaken and raise through the chakras to the crown of the head, opening the “third eye.”
This energy is directly tied to Hindu goddesses, such as Kali, the goddess of destruction. One cannot separate the physical discipline of yoga from its spiritual foundation, which is pantheistic and demonic.
“They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they did not know...” – Deuteronomy 32:17
👿 What Happens Spiritually?
When you do yoga, even just for exercise, you are unknowingly participating in a religious ritual rooted in Hindu mysticism and occultism. You're aligning your body and mind with demonic forces by:
-
Opening your gates (chakras) to spiritual entities
-
Inviting the kundalini serpent spirit
-
Submitting your body to Hindu gods through posture and breath
-
Entering altered states of consciousness (samadhi) that disconnect you from biblical truth
The Bible tells us not to engage with other gods or spiritual forces:
“Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves any gods of cast metal: I am the Lord your God.” – Leviticus 19:4
🧠 Mystical Experiences = Demonic Encounters
Yoga masters, both Hindu and Buddhist, describe samadhi as a state of superconsciousness where the ego dissolves and one becomes “enlightened.” Christians may mistakenly think this is the peace of God, but it's a counterfeit.
“For even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” – 2 Corinthians 11:14
Former practitioners have testified to seeing lights, hearing voices, and even levitating or experiencing physical convulsions. These are not signs of peace but manifestations of demons, masquerading as light and peace. The kundalini spirit can cause:
-
Sudden body jerks or spasms
-
Sleep paralysis
-
Night terrors
-
Mental confusion or obsession
-
Visions and hallucinations
🧬 Generational and Soul Ties
If your ancestors practiced yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism, martial arts, or meditation, demonic spirits may still be operating in your bloodline. These inherited soul ties must be broken through repentance and deliverance.
“I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.” – Exodus 20:5
🚫 Christians Practicing Yoga = Open Door
Many Christian churches now offer “Holy Yoga,” “Christian Yoga,” or “Stretching with Jesus.” But you cannot Christianize something founded on demonic worship.
“You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons.” – 1 Corinthians 10:21
Even using the yoga names for God, like “universal spirit” or “source,” is spiritually dangerous. These names refer to Hindu gods, not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
🙅♀️ Avoid Yoga, Choose the Narrow Path
Jesus never taught His disciples to stretch into poses to connect with God. He taught prayer, worship, fasting, and the study of God’s Word.
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction...” – Matthew 7:13
You don’t need yoga to find peace. You need Jesus Christ, who is the Prince of Peace.
🛐 Deliverance Prayer from Yoga Involvement
If you’ve practiced yoga—even once—or if your ancestors did, you must renounce it.
Prayer of Repentance and Renunciation:
“Father God, I repent for participating in yoga and for any involvement of my ancestors. I renounce every yoga position, mantra, breathwork, and connection to chakras, kundalini, or Hindu gods. I break all soul ties and generational curses. I ask for the blood of Jesus to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I command every spirit attached to yoga and kundalini to leave me now in Jesus’ name. Amen!”
