About Us

The Dangers of Yoga website (formerly titled “Yoga and Meditation Dangers”) is owned and maintained by me, Chris Lawson, the founder and director of the Spiritual Research Network (SRN). SRN is a Christian apologetics and discernment outreach, and the Dangers of Yoga website is one of my research collection outreaches.

The primary goal of the Dangers of Yoga website is to inform, equip, and warn people about the dangers associated with Yoga and its various forms. I hope that Christian Yoga teachers and practitioners will also take heed of the dangers of Yoga, as there are significant theological and practical problems with attempting to “Christianize” Yoga.

Whether you are a leader, teacher, educator, housewife, college student, young professional, or are involved in any other endeavor, DangersOfYoga.com is a website you may need in the future.

Whether you come from a spiritual or non-spiritual background is beside the point. Yoga has the potential to drastically affect your life—even if you are not directly involved with it, but members of your household are. The “yoke” of Yoga is a spiritual burden, and many find out too late. Contrary to the enslavement of Yoga and occult bondage, Jesus Christ of Nazareth offers the forgiveness of sins, true lasting peace, and eternal salvation in heaven.

Instead of engaging in Yoga, yoking with Brahman, the divine consciousness of Hinduism, we ought to trust in and wholeheartedly believe the words of the most incredible man who ever lived, Jesus of Nazareth, the only true God-Man, who was resurrected from the dead and is alive forevermore. This biblical Jesus Christ of the Bible, not a Yoga-oriented, occult/mystical guru, spoke the following invitation for us all:
