About Us

A Spiritual Research Network outreach

The Dangers of Yoga website, formerly known as “Yoga and Meditation Dangers,” is a research platform owned and maintained by Chris Lawson of the Spiritual Research Network (SRN). This website serves as a Christian apologetics and discernment outreach initiative dedicated to monitoring, documenting, and analyzing the spiritual and physical implications of modern Yoga and meditation practices. Read more about this initiative at the Spiritual Research Network.

Understanding the True Spiritual and Physical Dangers of Yoga

The primary mission of the Dangers of Yoga website is to educate, equip, and warn individuals about the spiritual and physical risks associated with modern Yoga practices. See our extended FAQ page for details. While many view it as exercise, some believe there are significant theological and practical conflicts for certain belief systems. It is often suggested that Christian Yoga teachers and practitioners examine the underlying roots of these practices. Many respectable Christian leaders and authors (and many Hindu gurus) argue that attempting to “Christianize” Yoga poses dilemmas, as the core philosophy is often viewed as inseparable from its origins.

Yoga and the Supernatural: Uncovering Spiritual Emergencies and Hidden Risks

Many practitioners report encountering unexpected spiritual phenomena during yogic engagement, often linked to the New Age, occult philosophies, or mystical experiences foundational to the practice. In some cases, individuals report that engaging in Yoga triggers harmful paranormal activity or psychological distress.

Are you experiencing the negative side effects of a kundalini awakening syndrome or kundalini psychosis? Many individuals search for answers after experiencing unexplained phenomena, including:

  • Sleep paralysis or spontaneous Yoga kriya manifestations
  • Hauntings, ghosts, poltergeist activity, and other paranormal/occult phenomena
  • Severe spiritual emergencies induced by Yoga energy (prana, shakti, or kundalini) and other forms of hereditary and/or transferable occult phenomena

If you are dealing with these disruptive experiences, this platform provides resources to help you understand, avoid, and safely escape these conditions.

The Hidden Dangers of Yoga: Mental, Physical, and Spiritual Risks

No matter your background—whether you are an educator, a student, a professional, or a homemaker—understanding the hidden dangers of Yoga is crucial for protecting your well-being. Every year, millions of people worldwide embrace Yoga as a simple exercise routine, entirely unaware of its deeply rooted religious origins, occult connections, and potential for negative life-altering consequences.

The spiritual side effects of Yoga can drastically impact individuals and entire households, even if only one family member participates. Many practitioners report that the practice introduces unexpected mental health challenges, physical injuries, and spiritual burdens.

Finding Freedom: Choosing Jesus Christ Over Yoga and Hinduism

The spiritual yoke of Yoga and occult bondage often leaves practitioners searching for truth and real inner healing. However, there is a clear biblical path to lasting freedom. Through Jesus Christ of Nazareth, you can find the forgiveness of sins, genuine peace, and eternal salvation.

Many people ask about the fundamental differences in Yoga vs Christianity. While Yoga aims at yoking with Brahman—the divine consciousness of Hinduism—the Bible calls us to place our absolute trust in Jesus of Nazareth. As the resurrected God-Man, Jesus offers true spiritual liberation rather than the mystical traps of occult frameworks or yoga gurus.

Explore these essential resources to learn more about escaping these practices:

Instead of seeking a higher consciousness through mystical exercises, consider the timeless, loving invitation spoken directly by the biblical Jesus Christ of the Bible, not the New Age/occult psychic version found in the cults and non-Christian religions of the world:

"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me [Jesus]; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
