 Yoga`s techniques have some short-term Physical benefits. However, if a person wants a more ~complete~ experience they also have to exercise the Spiritual aspects of the discipline . TM is one of those practices.

 Everything that a person Needs for Life and Godliness is Found in Christ . 2 Peter 1:3 
<p>
To Seek elsewhere for anything is to veer away from the Truth .

<p>

The encroachment of Paganism was a persistent theme in the Bible . It is still a serious Issue today. 
Genesis 35:2 Joshua 24:14 Joshua 24:23 Judges 10:16 1 Samuel 7:3 
<p>
If You Need Proof that Yoga is an empty practice look at India where it was Created . India is a Weak nation with a caste System that enalbes its people to cope with its societal problems.
<p>
Contrast the emptiness and self-absorption of Yoga with what Christ has given us:
<p>
 John 10:10 <br><i>
The thief cometh Not , but for to Steal , and to Kill , and to Destroy : <b>I am come that they might have Life , and that they might have it more abundantly</b>.</i>
<p>
What does the Abundant Life look like?
<p>
 Galatians 5:22,23 <br><i>
22 But the Fruit of the Spirit is Love , Joy , Peace , Longsuffering , Gentleness , Goodness , Faith , <br>
23 Meekness , Temperance </i>
<p>
 Psalm 91:16 <br><i>
With long Life Will I satisfy him, and shew him my Salvation .</i>
<p>
 3 Jhn 1:2 <br><i>
Beloved, I wish above All things that thou mayest Prosper and be in Health , even as thy Soul prospereth.</i> 
<p>
We should pursue Fellowship with the HolySpirit in order for the Fullness of the Life of Christ to Manifest in us - Not some empty, Pagan wasteful practice like Yoga .

Don`t get caught up in the Wrong thinking that Jeremiah Spoke of in this passage:
<p>
 Jeremiah 2:13 <br><i>
For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the Fountain of Living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.</i>
