“The practice of yoga has no place in the lives of Christians,” was the announcement made by the Holy Synod of the Church of GreeceĀ in response to the International Day of Yoga, which was established by the United Nations in 2014.
The Holy Synod argues that since yoga is a fundamental aspect of Hinduism, it cannot be practiced by Christians because it is contrary to the Christian faith.Ā And because of that it cannot be considered as just a “form of exercise.”
The official announcement further states that the Church of Greece respects the freedom of religious belief but claims is has a responsibility in order to avoid developing a “climate of religious syncretism.”
