Dr. David K. Bernard addresses a question frequently raised by Christians navigating modern culture: Is it acceptable for believers to practice yoga or participate in martial arts?

Yoga and many martial arts have historical roots in Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Yoga originates from Hindu spiritual practices, while martial arts like kung fu, Muay Thai, and aikido are deeply tied to various non-Christian philosophies.

Dr. Bernard explores whether involvement in these practices is compatible with Christian faith and lifestyle. He offers biblical insight, historical context, and practical guidance for believers seeking to honor God in every area of life.
