Is Pietra Fitness “Catholic yoga” or “Christian yoga”?

No. There are other programs and teachers that call their workouts “Christian yoga” or “Catholic yoga,” but Pietra Fitness is not one of them.

An exercise program cannot be both because Christianity (coming from Christ) and yoga (based in Hinduism) have fundamental differences in theology and philosophy. Most Hindu and Christian philosophers would agree that “Christian yoga” is an oxymoron because the practice is not truly yoga unless it incorporates Hindu spirituality, worldviews, or both.

Likewise, Christian activities are firmly centered on Christ. Yoga cannot offer the fullness of a program designed to minister to the human person as he or she is understood within the Christian faith.

Christ tells us: “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other . . . ” –Mt 6: 24
