According to Laurette Willis, founder of PraiseMoves, “Yoga is the missionary arm of Hinduism and the New Age movement.”

And this is not her own opinion, but what Hindu practitioners have claimed since at least 1991. Swami Sivasiva Palani warns Christians, “A small army of yoga missionaries – hatha, raja, siddha and kundalini – beautifully trained in the last 10 years, is about to set upon the western world. They may not call themselves Hindu, but Hindus know where yoga came from and where it goes.”
