i yoga your body is moved into positions that demons can inhabit. in meditation your mind is moved into positions that demons can inhabit. I would avoid.

Yoga is a combination of a physical and meditative practice (though some use the physical without the meditation as a form of exercise).
Meditation is a mental and spiritual practice that focuses on calming the mind. There is also gudied meditation which leads you to places within your mind. Just do a web search on both and you’ll find tons of information.

Yoga means: ‘The Path To God’.
How you do this - by strange physical exercises or plain meditation - that’s your choice.

lol……… Yoga is a hindu method of self-realization, there are many of them, Hatha yoga is mostly stretching to loosen the bodies tension thus releasing stored emotions into consciousness.
Meditation is a general term for going inward to find enlightenement. There are many of these also.
I recommend meditation on the heart, cultivating a feeling of love then broadcasting this love to the planet… This decreases the pain in your future and accelerates your awareness.
