I have been a born-again Christian for many years. By nature, I am a rather high-strung, nervous individual. I would like to learn to be more peaceful and tranquil--refer to Philippians 4:6-7. I do have peace for my eternal security, but everyday stresses of marriage and children sometimes suck the joy and peace from my life. My question is this: I am considering a taking a yoga/meditation class. Would this be acceptable to God? I would not want to do anything displeasing to him, and I'm not sure of the origins, principles, etc. behind yoga. God says, "be still and know that I am God." I am thinking that yoga would perhaps help me to learn to "be still". Do you think taking a yoga class is wrong for a Christian?
