"You mention yoga pretty often on your program, and there's one thing that I've never heard from you, that you might want to include in your arguments. It will help you when talking to people who want to do the physical part only. The physical is Hatha Yoga and the meditative is Rajah Yoga. There is an old saying in yoga itself - "No hatha without rajah; no rajah without hatha". This clearly says that it is impossible to divorce the physical from the meditative, according to the philosophy itself. If they say it can't be done, then it definitely can't be done."

"I just found out last week that our parish is going to start offering yoga classes and I am not sure what to do about this.

I just got an e-mail that says "after a good deal of research" and talking with our priest they have decided that the yoga classes will go on . . . ugh! I have downloaded and printed the document, Jesus Christ the Bearer of the Water of Life, and am wondering if you have any other suggestions for me. I think I have an uphill battle ahead of me, bu tI do feel it's a worthwhile battle. Help!!"

"I am shocked over the 'A Different Kind of Yoga' article published this week in the Arlington Catholic Herald! It even states that 'because of its foundation in Hinduism, yoga can be a controversial topic in Catholic circles'! This article also quotes from Father John Hardon calling yoga 'incompatible' with Catholicism due to its pantheistic origins. Just what about the First Commandment "I am the LORD thy God - thou shalt have no strange gods before Me' does our diocese not understand?"
