God has a wonderful plan for your body

In September 2010, Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, ignited a blogging and media firestorm by arguing that yoga and Christianity are incompatible. “The embrace of yoga,” he wrote, “is a symptom of our postmodern spiritual confusion, and, to our shame, this confusion reaches into the church.” Mohler’s critique went over as well as one might have expected among those who practice yoga either for health or spiritual growth. He reportedly received hundreds of responses, most of them negative.
