What is the difference between PraiseMoves and Yoga?
PraiseMoves and yoga are both forms of physical exercise, but they differ in their foundational philosophies and approaches:
​
-
PraiseMoves:
-
Foundational Philosophy: Praisemoves is a Christian alternative to yoga. It incorporates prayer and scripture into the movements and positions. It aims to provide a spiritual workout that aligns with Christian beliefs.
-
Approach: The routines often include Bible verses and Christian music, and the positions are given names that reflect their spiritual focus. The emphasis is on worship and meditation on God’s Word.
-
-
Yoga:
-
Foundational Philosophy: Traditional yoga has roots in ancient Indian philosophy and often incorporates elements of Hindu and Buddhist spirituality. It focuses on achieving physical, mental, and spiritual well-being through various postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation.
-
Approach: Yoga practices can vary widely, from physically demanding styles like Ashtanga or power yoga to more meditative and restorative practices like Hatha and Yin yoga. The poses and sequences are designed to enhance flexibility, strength, and inner peace.​
-
In essence, Praisemoves is designed to align with Christian teachings and provide a faith-based alternative to traditional yoga, which has a broader spiritual and philosophical foundation.
