Some [[Christianity|Christians]] integrate physical aspects of yoga, stripped from the spiritual roots of Hinduism, and other aspects of Eastern spirituality with prayer, meditation and Jesus-centric affirmations. The practice also includes renaming poses in English (rather than using the original Sanskrit terms), and abandoning involved Hindu mantras as well as the philosophy of Yoga; Yoga is associated and reframed into Christianity. | Some [[Christianity|Christians]] integrate physical aspects of yoga, stripped from the spiritual roots of Hinduism, and other aspects of Eastern spirituality with prayer, meditation and Jesus-centric affirmations.

In 1989 and 2003, the Vatican issued two documents: ''Aspects of Christian meditation'' and "A Christian reflection on the New Age," that were mostly critical of eastern and [[New Age]] practices. The 2003 document was published as a 90-page handbook detailing the Vatican's position. The Vatican warned that concentration on the physical aspects of [[meditation]] "can degenerate into a cult of the body" and that equating bodily states with mysticism "could also lead to psychic disturbance and, at times, to moral deviations." | In 1989 and 2003, the Vatican issued two documents: ''Aspects of Christian meditation'' and "A Christian reflection on the New Age," that were mostly critical of eastern and [[New Age]] practices.
