How to Teach Christian Yoga
Yoga was started as a practice by Hindus, and because of that many Christians feel uncomfortable with the chants and some of the vocabulary and music associated with it. Christian Yoga is a new exciting version of yoga that implements Christian principles, music and Bible verses in the same healthy stretching poses.

Step 2 is awesome! I myself had shied away from yoga because every DVD or class I had encountered wanted me to chant and focus on things contrary to my spiritual beliefs. I never thought about meditating on the Word (duh!) and following it all up with prayer.
