Christians have no business engaging in Eastern Religious practices. This is syncretism. Here's what Hindu's say about Yoga:
"Hinduism is the soul of Yoga based as it is on Hindu scripture and developed by Hindu sages. Yoga opens up new and more refined states of mind, and to understand them, one needs to believe in and understand the Hindu way of looking at God..A Christian trying to adapt these practices will likely disrupt their own beliefs." (Sannyasin Arumugaswami, managing editor of Hinduism Today.)
Here's what scripture has to say on the matter.
2Cor. 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, 18 and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
