Christian Leader Says Yoga is 'Really Spooky'

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Albert Mohler says that Christians shouldn't do yoga. Mohler told the Associated Press that it's not good to think that 'the body is a vehicle for reaching consciousness with the divine.' Of course, yoga practitioners, including Christian ones, vocally disagree.

The controversy started with an essay titled 'The Subtle Body — Should Christians Practice Yoga?' that Mohler posted on his blog late last month. Yesterday, Mohler responded to his critics with another post, titled 'Yahoo, Yoga, and Yours Truly.'
