Yoga. Orthodox look. Druzhinin D.

Is yoga compatible with Orthodox faith? Is it possible to be Orthodox and engage in yoga? This book is called to answer these questions.

people begin to engage in yoga, hoping to improve their health, strengthen the nervous system, increase the reserve of vitality, make the body more hardy and able -bodied. Many soon notice that yoga is not only a complex of psychophysical exercises, but also spiritual practice. Unfortunately, people pay attention to the numerous contradictions between this practice and the Christian worldview. For a Christian, the main thing is to serve God and neighbor; For yoga - self -improve. Orthodox person learns humility and meekness; The adept of yoga develops in itself (sometimes without noticing it) pride and high self -esteem. A person comes to church in search of a true and living god; In a yoga studio - in the hope of finding a "deity" in oneself. This book clearly shows the difference between the Christian and yogic view of the world and the person and offers the reader to make a conscious choice.
