Fit For 2011~20~Minute Praisemoves DVD Review & Giveaway

                                 

                              

Laurette Willis, former yogi and founder of PraiseMoves (“The Christian Alternative to yoga”), agrees with Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Dr. Albert Mohler’s view that yoga is more than just exercise, and is not for Christians.

According to Dr. Mohler, Christians who adhere to the Hindu practice of yoga “must either deny the reality of what yoga represents or fail to see the contradictions between their Christian commitments and their embrace of yoga.”

Those who agree with Dr. Mohler and Ms. Willis have been labeled “yogaphobic” in dozens of articles and blog posts.

Ms. Willis seeks to “clear the air of our detractors’ ‘incense-itivity,’” she says.

Several of  articles have also mentioned that Christians who alert others to the fact that yoga has its roots in Hinduism are fear-driven and “yogaphobic.”

Laurette Willis, the founder of PraiseMoves Fitness Ministry, disagrees with the “yogaphobia” label and believes Christians and Hindus alike are being unfairly persecuted for their stand that yoga is much more than just exercise.

“It is a common practice nowadays to classify anyone who embraces a different standard or viewpoint as phobic,” Willis said.  “Any logic contrary to our own must be driven by fear. The tactic seems to work. Even the most stalwart detractors are hushed when the threat of being labeled an ignorant sufferer of ‘fill-in-the-blank-phobia’ is in the air. They are hushed for, well, fear.”
