Michal Russo was a pastor’s daughter and an athletic college swimmer when she discovered yoga. Squeaky clean and hardworking, she wasn’t the rebellious type, but yoga, she says, opened the door to dark and oppressive forces in her life. Today, Michal is the marketing director for TCT Network and the author of How Yoga Harms: A Love Letter for Understanding Yoga From a Christian Perspective. She explains key teachings and practices of yoga, which are deeply rooted in the worship of false gods and divination. Michal also highlights a startling but convicting truth: when you open up your mind to something in spirit and in truth, you’re worshiping it, whether you want to admit it or not! Don’t worship the false gods of yoga, look to Christ as your Savior. TAKEAWAYS Foreign cultures see Americans’ version of yoga as a pilfering of their sacred religious beliefs You cannot compartmentalize yoga as a Christian, and Yoga eventually seeks to control your entire identity It’s perfectly fine to stretch and exercise - just don’t participate in the idol worship that goes along with yoga Yoga attempts to manipulate the energy source of life, a practice that falls into the category of divination 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Hollywood Exposed Download: https://bit.ly/4uXLThg Renouncing Yoga video: https://bit.ly/4tjmTiZ How Yoga Harms book: https://amzn.to/49UygGH 7 Steps to Realign Body, Soul, Spirit book: https://amzn.to/4dD0Ldl 🔗 CONNECT WITH NEW CREATION WOMAN Website: https://www.newcreationwoman.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/4wE8EYq Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrs.michalrusso/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@newcreationwoman 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina Faces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCM 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
