"Christoga is a non-traditional hatha yoga practice at beginning and intermediate levels, using scriptures from the Bible as the meditation focus. The positions strengthen and lengthen muscles as well as improve breathing, concentration and balance. The progressive guided relaxation phase is both comforting and restorative. Therefore, regular Christoga practice (at least 3 times a week) will improve your ability to perform activities of daily living. Strengthen both body and soul, therefore improving your quality of life."

Review:

Christoga is a great way to be able to exercise and learn more of Gods word. This DVD is filled with scripture as with each yoga pose a Bible verse is recited. The makers of the film took everyday yoga and turned it into a time to meditate on God’s word and love for us. They also changed the names of some of the pose to “Christian names”like the cross. The film is well put together and very clean. Dove awards this DVD our Dove Seal. Although this is rated for all ages, the very young might find it to be above their intellectual level to stay interested.

"Don’t blame me for the term “Christoga” — I didn’t make it up, Janine Turner did. The former actress — made famous for her role on “Northern Exposure” — has a new path in life and that’s to bring yoga to devout Christians. See, yoga in its inception is rooted in Hindu mythology and many classes have some focus on meditation or chanting. But what to do if you’re a devout Christian who isn’t comfortable standing in tree pose while calling out to Vishnu? Turner’s Christoga — available on DVD! — uses scriptures from the Christian Bible as the meditation focus and has renamed many of yoga’s traditional poses so they have a relation to Christianity. (For example, she refers to Boat Pose as “Holy Rollers.”) Being that the ultimate purpose of practicing yoga — beyond just exercise — is to experience enlightenment, more power to those, I suppose, who really want that enlightenment to obviously reflect their religious beliefs or whatever. But, like, does it really need a new name, especially one that is so dumb?" BlissTree
