Yoga: It's Not What You Think

By Linda Carl

Millions of people turn to yoga seeking peace, health, and balance--yet few realize the spiritual dangers hidden beneath its serene surface. In this book, Linda Carl exposes the deep incompatibility between yoga's roots and the Catholic Faith, offering clarity and hope to those yearning for authentic spiritual harmony.

Drawing on years of research, personal experience, and Church teaching, Carl traces yoga's origins in Hindu spirituality and reveals how its physical postures, mantras, and meditative techniques were never meant to serve the Christian soul. What may seem like harmless exercise can subtly draw hearts away from Christ and toward a worldview that denies His divinity.

But this book is not merely a warning--it is a way forward. With warmth and conviction, Carl points readers to Christ-centered practices of prayer, stillness, and reverence for the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. She invites Catholics to rediscover the peace that comes not through self-emptying, but through surrender to the living God.

This book is an essential guide for anyone seeking physical well-being without compromising spiritual truth.
