I have trouble reading the transcript without knowing the context or getting punctuation. But you were right to assume that I can't/won't watch a video link.
You said it was the poses, but what's wrong with them? Yoga has some stretches that some onlookers may call 'provocative' or 'flaunting' but yoga stretches are not meant to be in any way sexual. Yoga does not sexualize people.
The stretches are just stretches and while the health benefits may be debated, there are no known negative health effects. So I don't see how it would be a problem for Barbie to teach children how to do some yoga stretches.
Can you explain how its "demonic" beyond the medieval definition of it being anything spiritual or religious beyond Christianity?
I can guess the meditation aspect of it may be considered spiritualy dangerous by some, especially if the guide is Hindi, but that really shouldn't be a problem so long as they don't introduce drugs. And meditation is an optional aspect of it, most people just do the stretches. Most guides ignore meditation as well.
The only real problem I can see with yoga is that it is a ritual connecting people to roots of a culture that isn't their own.
Oh you'd have to watch that part with the CC closed captioning on. One of these poses is like this guy from India with a bunch of arms. Notice he's got people's heads on a necklace.
I think thats vishnu the hindi god of war. I don't know what "pose" that is, he's just standing there with a bunch of extra arms lol
Hindi is dumb but Idk if we can call it "satanic". It's a completely different religion from the other side of the world, they worship cow piss and have an actual, literal "rape culture" with arranged marriages, not to mention their caste system.
The only real criticism I can come up with against yoga (besides it being an ineffective alternative to actual PT) is that it comes from a forgein culture that has nothing to do with us and is frankly incompatible. But 99%+ of yoga in America is devoid of its cultural roots or religious teachings. Its just stretching. And the 1% that isn't will still not be authentic to Hinduism, it'll be new-age pseudo-Buddhism.
So I really don't see a problem with it.
How do you feel about rock and roll / heavy metal fans doing the devil horns hand sign?

If you watched that video, you'd see even the American yoga, when they're saying those mantras and doing the poses, they're summoning up stuff.
