The only Christian denomination I know of that is really positive and open minded with regards to Yoga are the Unitarians... and I'm not absolutely sure about them. Maybe you can clear me up with your opinion on it.
Thanks in advance.

There are quite a few that are opening their minds to Yoga and a few groups that were once Buddhist which are mixing Hinduism, something LIKE Buddhism and Christianity into one conglomeration, and THEY are being watched now, very carefully, under the "cult" watches.

So you're favoring a denomination who is fine with the Yoga-type of meditation? I think you should question why most Bible-believers would object to 'releasing your mind' rather than seeking a group that is OK with what has all the traits of a spiritually dangerous practice. But if you only do the exercising I think no denomination would have a problem with it.

The Hour of God's Judgment is Come! Believers must NOW Flee the Churches!
The Bible teaches that in these days we should flee the churches. Gods judgment has begun, and God starts it at the external church. We should, if possible, fellowship with other believers; (He.10:25) but not in a church.
Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (Re.14:7)
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand: (Matthew 24:15)
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. (Lu.21:20-22)
In these verses, Jerusalem and Judaea refer to the external or corporate churches. The ETERNAL CHURCH consists of all those whom God has saved and these will live with Him forever in Heaven.
The armies are Satan (the antichrist), as he comes with his false prophets and lying signs and wonders.
This is Gods judgment on the church. See also:2 Thessalonians 2:1+.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? (1 Pe.4:17)

Most Anglican/Episcopal groups don't have a problem with it.
Unitarians aren't strictly Christian; you can believe just about anything you like and attend a Unitarian group; Buddhist, whatever.

I know lots of people who are Christian and do yoga. There's no conflict of interest.
