We already have African archbishops saying that African Catholics much prefer the TLM and the solemn worship of God and maintaining the Faith of Our Fathers--for which I might add, countless souls were tortured and martyred by Protestants and other heretics--over the New Age crap that your typical Hippie McMoron tries to proclaim. Excuse Father Z and myself and every other sad sap who gives a care and wants to continue worshipping GOD and don't want to see THE MOST HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS turn into A CIRCUS AND A HIPPIE FREAK SHOW and the FAITH OF OUR FATHERS turn into a suggestion.
I'll say it again. Yoga is a near occasion of sin at best, Stations of the Cross or no. You don't go to Stations of the Cross to see clowns or do exercise--even if it's as spiritually harmless as Richard Simmons' stuff. You go to Stations of the Cross to meditate on and reflect upon the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. You know, the guy who BECAME MAN SO THAT HE COULD TEACH US HOW TO STOP SINNING AND LOVE EACH OTHER AND TO DIE FOR OUR SINS. Doing exercises--especially those from another, completely separate spiritual belief--is disrespectful. Some guy died for YOU, DON'T YOU CARE?
All I'm going to say further is, India which has the greatest number of converts and seminarians in the East, are going to bring their culture into the Church. Get use to it!
Second, the Yoga Stations of the Cross are not done in a Church at the stations, but they're done in a gym or exercise room as always.
Adding in the prayers and meditations of the stations is all that is included in the exercise.
I understand the difficulty you have in wraping your mind around it, but it is no way near the occasion of sin as you put it.
