SRN issues a warning about the following topics because they are either one, two, three, or all four of the following: Mystical and supernaturalistic health related methods Founded on occult principles Dangerous forms of occult and mystical practices Based on the writings and beliefs associated with either paganism, spiritism, occultism or mysticism.  Spontaneous Kundalini arousal, undiagnosable diseases, suicidal tendencies, breathing disorders, psycho-spiritual meltdown, irreversible brain damage, occult influence, hostility toward Jesus Christ and the Bible...    Walk into your local gym, YMCA, or excercise clinic and ask the staff if they pro-actively warn people about the dangers of YOGA.  Chances are about 99.999 percent that they will not tell you the dangers.  Yes they will take your money and introduce you to a physical practice [based on occult philosophy] but in most cases they will not tell you what might happen to you as you indulge in yoga.          Learn more about the Dangers of Yoga and Christian Yoga  THE DANGERS OF YOGA AND CHRISTIAN YOGA
