<p>One very passionate priest from Austria declared that yoga is evil and people, who practice yoga  are consumed by a bad spirit and already in devil&#8217;s hands. His argument was that after practicing yoga people feel out of their inner peace, less focus and other people even don&#8217;t want to see anyone (to be honest, when I&#8217;m tired and sweaty I also don&#8217;t feel like socialising).</p>
<p>Well, saying that in the Catholic centre in the same city they offer yoga classes openly and &#8220;shamelessly&#8221;-  obviously for some priests it is not a problem (they are probably more comfortable around sweaty and strong people??).</p>
<p>And I was thinking that Austrian priest&#8217;s worries are kinda understandable, because yoga is a part of Hinduism and he, obviously, doesn&#8217;t want people to experience it. Looks like Christians can share one church with other religions, but can&#8217;t tolerate &#8220;non-Christian&#8221; physical exercise. I&#8217;m wondering, does that priest experience yoga before saying his verdict or did he just assumed that yoga is a bad spirit? But if he did try yoga before then I completely understand him, cause on the second or third day after the practice I also feel that &#8220;this was evil&#8221;.</p>

<p>Где-то в далекой, заснеженной Австрии, слегка подмороженный священник извлек из коробочки с мозгом постулат о том, что йога- это дьявольская практика, наставляющая людей на путь сатаны. Однако, в том же, все ещё заснеженном австрийском городе, в каталическом центре поблизости дают уроки йоги без всякого стеснения&#8230; видимо, не согласовали с &#8220;начальником&#8221;.</p>
<p>Священник попал в новости и даже во множество интервью; а я лишь надеюсь, что &#8220;начальник&#8221; оценил инициативу, и отметил его знаменем. И мне интересно, как тот самый священник решил, что йога &#8211; это от дьявола? Делал ли он умственные предположения или все же он попробовал физически ощутить это на себе, перед тем, как заявить во всеуслышание о необходимости отказа от сатанинских практик? Если так, то я его очень даже понимаю, потому что на второй или третий день после занятий, я тоже чувствую, как у меня всё как -то чертовски болит.</p>
