Christian yoga stirs controversy
Christian yoga is gaining adherents. But many say that divorcing yoga from its Hindu roots is impossible.
Cindy Senarighi teaches the class at St. Andrew’s. She puts a biblical bend on what is a Hindu tradition.
“We do the sun salutation, but we’re worshipping the Son — S-O-N — Jesus Christ,” Senarighi explained.
In spite of its growing popularity, not everyone is a believer.
“It’s an oxymoron,” said Subhas Tiwari, a professor at the Hindu University of America and a yoga expert. “It makes no sense.”
