I did Pilates for years. It was all about strengthening the abdominal muscles ( I had 10 kids, my abdominal muscles were shot). I kept throwing out my back because my abdominal muscles wouldn’t work and so I overworked my back. There was no yoga or Eastern religion taught.
Thank you! I'm having a similar problem 😩
I've only experienced Pilates with videos, but that's a great input for me to possibly revisit it, now that I've had 7 kids. #5&6 were twins, which I actually had naturally, but #7 was a c section. And I'm a CNA, so I lift people every day. My back is really feeling it, and I won't get into the body image issues with my stomach. I may have to give Pilates another go. Thanks and God bless.
You were taught the forms of yoga.
@Kerimcan no, yoga is not OK. As far as I know sports are not yoga. But sports are not Ok either since they distract you from what the government is doing.
""This ranged from classical Roman and Greek exercise regimes to body-building and gymnastics. He set this alongside practising the Eastern disciplines of yoga, tai chi, martial arts and Zen meditation. Additionally, he studied anatomy and animal movements. Dedicated to his task, he sampled every kind of exercise that he could and carefully recorded the results."
Yeah...that's because Pilates instructors hid their cultural appropiration (theft) of yoga. I can't blame Joseph Pilates for this, he did not such appropriation, he was very open in his journals of the origin of his techniques.
I'm glad you got so much benefit from our yoga poses, namaste.🙏🏾
i went to a free yoga class with a friend a few years ago. It was in a martial arts/ Buddhist center. The teacher was trained in India. She was very harsh and throwing shade at us during the class for having good lives because we live in the West, so we were to not complain if the postures were awkward or uncomfortable because think of the poor people in India. I am Indian and also Catholic .It felt traumatizing for me in some way and the energy in the room was toxic. I wanted to cry and flee the room. i should have left. Now i think about it there was a spiritual element and God was telling me to leave. i know better now that to participate in such a thing. i believe it was demonic. my friend who went with me and is catholic was fine during the class. i wasn’t. i was pretty shaken up by the end.
I'm with you there not wanting any of that stuff in my life
Great video! As a Pilates Instructor and follower of Christ, us instructors are taught to ask the client for permission to touch them during the session and happily abide by that teaching.

Took this straight off the pilates site man. You work for the devil bro, time to find a new profession.
@@adim00lah the devil stole everything.
@@milluh Stole it from who?
@@milluh So all the good stuff in eastern religion like yoga was stolen by the devil from who God, and given to us right?
Where in the bible are you getting this from? You are just making up your own ideology at this point.
The only theft I see here is the cultural appropriation of yoga you call "pilates." So if the devil stole it, you are okay with being an instructor of things stolen from God?

I got this straight up off a Pilates website. Joseph Pilates himself studied YOGA, tai chi, and zen meditation along with roman and greek exercises, which come from pagans.
He didn't invent these positions that look like yoga, he learned them from yoga. He didn't even approriate, because he made no attempt to hide he learned from eastern disciplines, it's in his journals.
So if yoga is the devil, so is pilates since it has origins not just in Hindism but Daoism (tai chi) and Zen meditation (Buddhism).
many Catholics are confused about yoga. thanks for some clarity.

Most Christians are confused about Pilates, it has origins in yoga, tai chi, and zen meditation. I literally found this with 2 minutes of google research.
Blind leading the blind.
There's a 2hr video by heaven and healings podcast called yoga is evil. It's good you should send it to your friends who are confused
I've found a pilates studio that very neutral. They're focused solely on the breathing and core strength. No weird touching or they ask first and it's only to help the person. Like position things, stuff like that. There's been no mention of yoga. It's also a genuinely positive place, not a toxic positive place

Took this straight off a pilates site. Does it matter if they mention yoga when Pilates is based on yoga, tai chi, and zen meditation?
Good advice. Always best to avoid false religious practices.
I went through this same process relatively recently - my priest pointed me towards Pilates instead of yoga, and I am very grateful he did.

I guess you priest, who does pilates, is secretly worshipping the devil, I wonder if the devil posessed him yet?
Wasn't Pilates started by some Roman Prefect or something?
ba-dum-tsk
True story: In my Catholic parish we had a member whose name was (Walter) Luther (no, not our priest!), and a member whose name was (Joe) Pilato.
@@davidbraun6209 I had 2 H.S. student- brothers named Rommel and Himmler and they were Haitian!
No not at all, your statement couldn'tbe further from the truth. He was German and a genius ahead of his time.

Yeah... a genius that studied yoga, tai chi,and zen buddhist meditation. I got this straight off a pilates website.
Always a nice time when PWA uploads
Don't think I'm going to try this Joseph Pilates was into the occult I was told or saw on the internet
Can you give a source for that ?
No he wasn't lol don't go around spreading false information.

This is directly from site called Pilates central, it's in the uk. Joseph was very open about him studying eastern religions to develop Pilates.
@@adim00lah that might be true .
However , I have come to consider that not everything found in or used by cults /heretical groups/ etc is bad .
Some of the movements in yoga I have seen my developing toddler do. We should not allow natural movements etc to be hijacked . Know what I mean ?
@@adim00lah Pilates is very down to earth and common sense .
People develop bad posture through various reasons . It’s just about fixing the problems and getting things back working as they should .
Trust me if there was even a hint of anything bad or suspicious involved I would not do it .
I am know for having a very strong stance on separation from sin and worldliness . I take holiness and purity very seriously. I’m an evangelist and very aware of the host of deceptions and false doctrine blowing around .
Now yoga I would not go near and warn others not to go near.
So someone who is instructing a remedial physical exercise class should not touch your body? And If they use a therapeutic voice while doing so its worse? What nonsense.
I've done yoga several times and never witnessed anything like this.
Same! These people are full of it, and are ignorant to boot.

This took me 2 minutes to find off a pilates website. Joseph Pilates based pilates on yoga, zen meditation, and tai chi.
Fundamentalist are mental, it's in the name, literally.
No Catholic should be doing Yoga at all.
Wont do yoga but I do pilates and barre for fun
This might seem like a "stretch" but have you considered just attending these classes, or better yet checking them out on UA-cam? Guaranteed most if not all of the "spiritual element" in modern Western yoga has been stripped away (Pilates never had a spiritual element to begin with) now they DO have a high percentage of women in their 20s and 30s that wear form fitting workout gear, which your wives would likely highly disapprove of if they caught you staring at. But is your local strip mall gym, a hub for summoning the Fallen One and his minions into this world? Really depends on how many episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer you've seen.
I believe there is no way of "unconsciously" attracting the devil. Yoga and other esoteric stuff seem to me just a huge waste of time. Not that it has any demonic character to it, but it has nothing. It's just nothing. It's a placebo effect, at most. To praise satan is really easy. One just has to steal, cheat, murder, lie, want to hurt people or itself. But sitting in a room doing weird poses while vocalizing some letters? It's plain stupid.
@@jalimhabeikoforsa8189 exactly, while I get that it can sometimes be difficult to figure out what is and isn't temptation disguised as something benign, these guys pretending to be scared of low tier exercise classes, sets back the credibility of Catholicism (which is still in damage control) as a religion of redundancy.
just to be safe, always bring a wooden stake and wooden mallet, and cross ( a little Garlic wouldn't hurt either) ,if you go to theses classes .
You can make a Ouija board cute with pink bunnies on it.... It's still a Ouija board.
I’ve been to tons of both yoga and Pilates classes in three different places that I’ve lived, and only one class at a university I went to had a weird spiritual component and so I never went back, It’s very easy to tell when it does, and it’s not very common in my experience.
Maybe it is more common if you live in California or some bigger cities, but not near me! So I think most people can relax and exercise at the classes they like. Discern for yourself which class is ok. Probably specific yoga studios are more likely to be spiritual than yoga classes at a gym that offers a variety of fitness classes.
Why take the chance that yoga or other worship elements are not being spliced in there in the heat of activity? I mean, the possibility is always there, because that's supposedly how the founder implemented it. People that are possessed may do this in an attempt to deceive you. You know, make it seem quality throughout, but add evil in there hoping you fall for the little evil they reveal(just like a convincing false teacher or prophet--some are more subtle than others). They'll come at you with the bible a lot or convincingly well, but their heart is far from YHWH/THE Hamashiach! Their real intention is to make money and--if possessed--pick their spots to deceive you when your guard may be down. My belief is that a possessed pilates teacher can do this same kind of thing: know many would never stand for open yoga or claiming other wickedness, so they go subtle with it. Most of time they lull you with legit exercise/stretching, but, then, craftily throw wicked elements in there.
And, it's safe to conjecture that many practitioners do not know every instance that worship elements are being implemented into the routine, so--if the teacher is "blind"--they'll lead you into a ditch as well. Both ways are how pilates is playing spiritual Russian Roulette(never knowing whether your class will lead to a demon possession/attachment or not) and no one knows if being demon possessed will end in them dying that way or they'll eventually be set free from this. So, pilates is not a thing to play around with, because of the evil elements that are employable into it...
The best option we all have is to stay away from these palates and yoga. Keep yourself safe from these demonic movements that will endup causing problems in you life. Rather find simple straight exercises tat are not a communication to demons. God bless
If anyone wants to do pilates but can't find an instructor check out UA-cam. There are several very good instructors on UA-cam and that is free. Of course beware if any of them are doing the spiritual stuff.

HI took this off a pilates site. Joseph Pilates studies a lot of things to develop Pileates including YOGA,he also used zen buddhist meditation, and tai chi which is from daoism.
I recommend
Jesus Christ, the Bearer of the Water of Life: A Christian Reflection on the "New Age" by
John paul ll
What is he talking about when he mentions "re-aligning" your body?
Short explanation :
Re aligning the chakras
Is steps that happens in your vertebrae as you keep doin this practices until supposedly open the third eye which is nonsense,
Is just some demon
which is posession.
Why do you think these gurus flote or elevate from the ground .
Just like when somebody gets possessed.
Ofcourse this people that are born cant distinguish its just their traditions of their culture.
But for us christian anything thats weird we shouldn't do ,especially spiritual practices or rituals or superstitions just to be in the safe side.
Realignment of the muscles and so forth to work in sync. etc. Not spiritual, just physical balancing of muscular forces. He was warning of inclusion of spiritual practices as is seen in such positions as in yoga where particular positions reflect Hindu deities.
Thanks yall
@@r.c4914 is mistaken. Pilates uses the term "alignment" in a purely physical sense. It's talking about correct posture, weight distribution, and using one's muscles in an anatomically correct manner. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the New Age practice of "aligning" one's supposed "chakras".
@@r.c4914 you have no clue what you are talking about.
Yoga voice is hilarious. It’s true that some yoga teachers choose to use a more soothing tone of voice but that’s the same as army sergeants using their army command-type voice. 😂 also isn’t Sanskrit just another language? It’s like saying if they start using Chinese please beware that you might be praying to a Chinese god.
I’m Catholic and I’m a Pilates teacher but this is doing yoga and Catholicism a major disservice.
Lol to the disgusted face you made with your last comment ..mm that's cool... 🤣🤣
This is OK but 👌
😂
Alex Frank doesn't know what he is talking about. As an academic in the field of Asian religions I am just shocked at the amount of misinformation in this episode...
Care to elaborate??
What about the christianized versions of yoga? They're kinda hoaky, I know, but I really prefer yoga to Pilates and haven't experienced anything recognizably pagan. I just figured something like Doxa Soma, or Christian yoga would work because of the conscious effort to avoid anything directly Hindu.
Please watch the UA-cam channel Sensus Fidelium's video called 'Yoga: an open door to the occult', (the talk is by a holy priest) and if you're able, all the other videos they provide on this topic and make up your own opinion. I hope this helps :) Pax Christi & St Pius X, ora pro nobis!
@@credidimuscaritati thank you. I subscribe to them, but it's possible that I've missed some of the videos on this topic. I'm also on my 3rd copy of "deliverance prayers for use by the laity" and its falling apart. Everything I've seen so far addresses only yoga in it's normal usage. This video states explicitly that there's no issue with using deep breathing in combination with stretching to achieve the physical benefits. My question has to do with preferring the static stretching as opposed to dynamic movement. This is why I bring up Christianized versions like Doxa Soma, which focus meditation on God in forms such as Hebrew words. I've even seen a rosary yoga before. The intention is to divorce the practice of deep breathing through static stretches while focusing the mind on spiritual meditation from Hinduism and instead meditate on the Lord through the static stretches and breathing. This is a specific topic I haven't seen addressed by Sensus Fidelium or any other source that I find authoritative. As I said I may have missed something, as Sensus Fidelium has spoken on original form yoga several times, and I do greatly appreciate the feedback. I likely wasn't clear in my original question. I intended it to be specific to static stretching (as done in yoga,) as opposed to dynamic movement (as done in Pilates,) using the breathing technique shared by yoga and Pilates, and focusing the meditation on a given form of Christian prayer. I hope that clarifies what I mean by Christianized yoga. Most of these were formed by Christian yoga teachers who repented from Hindu practices and wanted to redeem the physical workouts for their health benefits. As a lay person I haven't found anything I considered questionable, and consider it beneficial. My own parish priest isn't entirely certain about my question and could only tell me to proceed with caution. This is why I was hoping for some resource that directly addresses the Christian versions. I apologize if my explanation is long. Thanks for your input and God bless.
Also I've only seen these in video form, so touch boundaries wouldn't come up as an issue. This may also be worth considering for me as I'm in the nursing field and could easily see myself giving the benefit of the doubt to someone, because my own job requires touching that would be highly inappropriate in most circumstances. Just another thought on the subject.
Hi Robyn, I love the fact that you're on your 3rd copy of Fr Ripperger's deliverance prayer book!! It truly is an excellent book and resource.
I wish I was able to help you further but the extent of my knowledge is the Yoga video and I thought it may help your situation. I humbly acknowledge that I know nothing else on this topic. I would just like to encourage you in the case that you haven't already to watch the video, even if it is not exactly applicable to your particular situation as it may even answer a small portion of your questions? I hope you find the truth and a definitive answer!!!!:) Pax Christi & St Pius X, ora pro nobis!
@@credidimuscaritati thank you so much. I'll find it again and see if there's anything I missed. The prayers in the book renounce yoga with other pagan practices, but I guess I'm just being the egg head that I am. Needing to understand nuances that normal humans don't think of because they're already doing Pilates... 🤣🤣🤣 maybe Fr Ripperger himself would be someone who would go into this topic for me if I could find a public email somewhere. Who knows how many he gets in a day, but it might be worth trying.
