I don't understand that the Bible is connected with Yoga. I have delved into the subject of Yoga. It is a tool of Hinduism. We should not have anything to do with false gods.
You are correct, that Yoga is not mentioned or recommended in the Bible because it is a Hindu spiritual practice that goes back to ancient times. In my opinion based on my research on this practice is that Christians should not practice yoga, even if it is "Christianized" which is another term for syncretic melding of a pagan practice with Christian overlay. My doctor has recommended yoga for me, but I have turned down this recommendation each time because of what I know about the pagan underpinnings of it. There are many, many exercises one can do to strengthen their body, enhance their balance, and de-stress their body other than using yoga.
