People do not realize that Yoga is not just exercise, but a philosophy. It is entering another spiritual reality through the Hindu mantras. It can lead to serious spiritual consequences and the person usually ends up needing help from psychiatrist or an exorcist later in life. People practising Eastern cult techniques can open themselves up to so-called chakras, i.e. energy centres through which bad energies can be absorbed and used for magic or other occult purposes. Certain people can enter a state of so-called kundalini energy, as a medium, using the mysterious energy of evil.
Pros: Temporary feeling of being ""in shape""
Cons: Serious spiritual consequences
