Burn the witch!

Today, I told my mom I've been taking yoga lessons, and that it'd be cool if she took some with me. She immediately went on a rant, calling yoga "satanic" and accusing me of trying to get her into "devil worship". Well, that's the last time I try to patch our relationship up. FML

Maybe if you stop worshipping Satan she'll trust you.

Yoga is actually the complete opposite. It's spiritual and calming so it's really weird that your mom would think it's some evil ritual.

That just sounds like an excuse for her laziness

If she thinks yoga is satanic, how will she feel about meditating? If she likes it, she'll release some of that pent up anger.

She probably thinks anything outside of her religion is satanic. I know some Christians like that.

I don't think it's as much that anything outside her religion is satanic, as much as yoga and meditation are originally a religious practice from Hinduism/Buddhism; which is the issue. I don't think she realizes that meditation and yoga are now used as a way to decompress; I think she still thinks it is a form of religious ceremony for anyone that does it.

Funny thing is is that meditation and prayer are actually really similar in how they work. I mean obviously meditation is not prayer, but prayer is a form of meditation. Jesus even teaches meditation in the Bible.

Namaste= a summon for the devil? I think not.

Namaste= HAIL THE DARKLORD BEELZEBUB! or... Something like "peace be with your soul". I can't remember.

I'm pretty sure the literal translation is just "I bow to you"

Actually, namaste literally means 'hello' in Hindu. It's just a greeting. @#37, I think with 'peace be upon your soul', you're thinking of the Muslim greeting, Asalam Alykum (sorry I've never seen it spelt in English) which means 'May peace be upon you'

Your mother sounds like my grandma on my mom's side. Crazy and beyond help. I don't know your situation, but you may be better off without her :/

Downward facing dog is the best way to summon Satan, after all.
