Though the topic of this post would lead you to think it is only relative to children or families with children, that is not true. This post will dig deep, into YOGA which is a topic that touches many lives and Eastern Religion which touches all our lives in this post modern society. Stay with me. There is a lot of information revealed.
Civilization has lost sight of the importance of rearing children. We have left our offspring totally helpless and vulnerable to the attacks of the evils ones. They have suffered greatly physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It is time we took notice, paid attention and resolved to take action to protect our young. Today I want to focus on what is happening with our young girls and how their little minds, hearts and spirits are being reprogrammed.
Being a grandmother of 6 grand daughters, as well as an aunt to one niece and great aunt of another, I know a little bit about little girls and a lot about Barbie. I was however, a little surprised to learn of the blatant push of Eastern Philosophy in the world of dolls. I have no idea why that would surprise me. After all we have been inundated with Eastern Religion for years. When parents are chanting, burning incense, and laying offerings to their Buddha at home, why would they not be thrilled to buy their little girls YOGA Dolls. Well, I suppose now they buy them for their little boys, too.
Today, I want us to take a look at these Yoga Dolls. It is my hope that some eyes will be opened to the curse they are bringing our homes and our families. At a minimum surely I can get some folks to at least take a deeper look at the significance of these toys and the concepts, beliefs and practices they are instilling in our children.
First, I want to state very clearly that PLAY is an important part of the emotional, physical and spiritual development of all children. PLAY is PRACTICE for Life. In our early childhood we learn to mimic our parents through our play time. This reinforces the family values, and moral ethics. It helps us to shape our self image and to emulate role models that display shared values and beliefs. So, it helps to keep the family and society on solid footing.
You can trust and believe that the ruling elite have learned a tremendous amount about humans and how we learn, how we interact, how we respond to stimuli, how our thoughts and emotions are formed. They have not spent all that time and money studying us for nothing. Their aim is CONTROL. So, you better understand that all these sudden changes in our society have not occurred naturally or organically. We are being manipulated every minute of every day. Every item they sell us is designed with purpose.
Here are some clips from an article posted on a Montessori School Website.
Play is far more powerful for children, however, than many parents realize. It’s actually the key to learning. Researchers and educators across the world have found that play can help enrich learning and develop key skills such as inquiry, expression, experimentation, and teamwork.
We need to consider that young children learn in quite different ways [than adults]. They learn by comparing physical experiences, by interactions with other people and their own feelings. And they learn an enormous amount through their imagination…. Play is what pulls together the logical and creative parts of the brain.
For young children, play is often a full body activity that helps them develop skills they will need later in life. Running, dancing, climbing, rolling—these activities all foster muscle development and help fine-tune motor skills. Children also build their mental and emotional muscles as they create elaborate, imaginative worlds rich with a system of rules that govern the terms of play.
Students learn critical thinking skills, develop their language abilities, expand their range of knowledge and increase their social emotional awareness—all without realizing how much they’re learning. Source

Here are some famous quotes about play:
Play is the primary way children were designed to learn. ” Kathy Hersh-Pasek and Roberta Golinkoff/Contemporary American psychologists
Play is the mediator of the invisible and visible. ” Dora M. Kalff/Jungian therapist
Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning. ” Diane Ackerman/Contemporary American author
Culture arises and unfolds in and as play. ” Johan Huizinga/Dutch historian
1872–1945Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning. ” Fred Rogers/American television personality
1928–2003 Source
My point in all of that is to help you to realize that what and how our children play is important. This is not a silly topic. I know there are those who will say, what does it matter what kind of doll my kid plays with? Kids just want to be like everyone else. Whatever is popular is what they want. It is just a fad. WRONG!! No matter how long the toy remains popular or even how long it remains in your home, there are spiritual repercussions that cannot easily be overturned. You dear PARENT are responsible for the guarding and protection of your children’s body, mind and spirit!! YOU will answer to GOD for your failings. Like it or not, those children are not yours, they have been placed in your keeping. They belong to GOD!
No matter how much American’s believe they can separate the Hindu religion from their Yoga exercise program, it is still a LIE. Just remember…
Hindu Wisdom – Yoga
Yoga is an integral part of the Hindu religion. There is a saying: “There is no Yoga without Hinduism and no Hinduism without Yoga.”
Yoga in philosophy and practice is incompatible with Christianity by James Manjackal MSFS
Yoga Is Incompatible with Catholicism Fr. James Manjackal, MSFS

In the last few years, Mattel began to offer Barbie dolls that were fully jointed in every area and direction. I believe they were called “Bust a Move” Barbie. She was dressed in various athletic garb, including yoga pants and tops. They sold accompanying playsets that consisted of mats and yoga paraphernalia.
Now at Target: New Barbie Dolls Focused on Yoga, Wellness and Self Care
Breathe With Me Barbie Doll – $17.99 (regularly $19.99)
This Barbie doll has lights and sounds designed to inspire mindfulness. Press the button in her necklace to start one of five guided meditation exercises that kids can follow along with too! The puppy helps Barbie relax and can help her visualize different emotions with the four included cloud emojis. This Barbie also features 15 “joints” for more realistic movement, stretching, and yoga poses.

Because Barbie needs self-care, too! Mattel launches ‘Wellness Collection’ dolls that come with bath bombs, face masks, and ’emotion emojis’ – and one even plays guided MEDITATIONS
Mattel has introduced a new line of ‘wellness’ Barbies that introduce girls ‘to the benefits of self-care through play.’
The new collection includes dolls that come with tub accessories like bath bombs and candles, spa must-haves like face masks, and lounge necessities like slippers and hot cocoa.
Most unique of all, the Breath with Me Barbie doll has a button necklace that plays five different guided meditations that kids can follow along with. The meditations were made in partnership with the mediation app Headspace and each last four minutes, focusing on topics like staying positive, settling down, and feeling appreciation.
Interactive: Breathe with Me Barbie ($19.99) wears cute pajamas and a built-in necklace that’s also a button — and when kids push it, it plays guided meditations by Headspace
Mood: She comes with a puppy and four cloud-shaped mood charms, which can be stuck in the puppy’s head to help ‘focus with visualization’ on love, sadness, happiness, or grumpiness. ‘The puppy helps Barbie doll focus with visualization: place one of the four cloud emojis — Love Rainbow, Sad Rain, Happy Sunshine or Grumpy Red — into its head to express an emotion; switch them up to express a new feeling,’ the website explains.
So, by inserting the emoji CHARM into the CROWN CHAKRA of the Puppy the child becomes connected via the CLOUD and is assisted in visualizing her DESIRE (the driving force of all things.). Come back to this spot after your have viewed the entire post and you will have a better understanding of what I just wrote.

The meaning of CHARM is the chanting or reciting of a magic spell : incantation. How to use charm in a sentence.

The new collection includes several new Barbies and playsets.
In addition, each of the dolls features 11 joints for ‘more realistic movement,’ and can even sit cross-legged to meditate.

El Segundo, CA – Mattel’s “Breathe With Me” Meditation Barbie is the latest children’s product to be released by the toy giant. For just under $25 retail, kids will be able to practice self-care as they help the Barbie doll with her meditation practice. With just the push of a button, kids will be able to join in on the relaxation.
However, according to a group of Conservative Christians, not everything is as it seems. “Christians Against Eastern Religions,” or CAER, have recently stated that this bendable children’s toy is anything but an invitation to practice self-care; it’s an invitation to open a portal into the underworld.
Here’s what founder of the group, Jasmine Blades, had to say on her personal Facebook page:
Satan always comes as appearing innocent. He will never come with horns and a pitchfork. This Barbie has 5 guided meditations. Remember, Yoga IS Hinduism. You cannot separate the poses from the religion. Each pose is designed to invoke a Hindu deity in the spirit realm. I have seen children get possessed by demons. This Barbie also teaches you deep breathing (pranayama). Her pet is also involved. Satan is after the children. He wants to use them and indoctrinate them for his glory. Then, when he is done, he will destroy them. As your kids grow, they will get rebellious, depressed and many will be suicidal. You won’t understand what’s happening as a parent. God forbids all practices of eastern religion as a Christian. You must remove all toys and clean your children’s room of all demonic attachments. Deuteronomy 18:10-12.
(Is it any wonder that we see more people today having depression, panic attacks, nervous anxiety, cutting, self abasement, disrespect, violence, drug addiction, suicide, murder?)
We reached out to Mattel for comment, but they have not returned my call. They did, however, recently post this to their official Twitter account:
The new Breathe With Me Barbie is here! It is definitely just a toy, and not a gateway into the underworld. We swear. Just a self-care toy for children. Not made by Satan. We promise! (DENY, DENY, DENY oldest trick in the book when caught doing something evil/wrong/illegal)
Sounds fishy, but for now, we’ll just have to take their word for it. If you have purchased the new Barbie, and discover any shadowy figures clinging to your ceiling, or if your children start floating in the air like Luke Skywalker, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Christian Influencer Warning Yoga Barbie Will ‘Possess’ Kids Roasted Online
A Christian influencer’s warning that a Yoga Barbie doll could lead to children being “possessed by demons“ has become the butt of thousands of jokes online.
Yasmeen Suri shared a photo of the doll in a cross-legged pose on May 3. The Barbie was sealed in a plastic box that read “Breathe with me Barbie” and advertised sound effects to “5 guided meditations.” Suri’s Facebook post has garnered 56,000 reactions and 36,000 comments.
“‘Yoga Barbie’ is at Target on the shelf,” wrote Suri. “Satan always comes as appearing innocent. He will never come with horns and a pitchfork.”
The Christian speaker and author, who has written books including Beautiful Deception and The Fake God Reference Guide, went on to claim that yoga and Hinduism were inextricable. (EVEN HINDUS STATE THAT!)

“You cannot separate the poses from the religion,” she said. “Each pose is designed to invoke a Hindu deity in the spirit realm. I have seen children get possessed by demons.”
According to her website, Suri was born in India and became “delivered from many New Age beliefs and false religious doctrines” after an encounter with Jesus Christ.
The internet flocked to her Facebook post, with quips and wisecracks flooding the comments section. (Not surprising as most of the nation and the earth is lawless and hates God and all that belongs to him.)
“My daughter has recently been doing yoga, it’s been really good for her. Enjoying the red tint in her eyes too, brings a nice ambience to the room,” wrote Trudie Macfarlane. (This person will not be laughing when she and her daughters spend eternity in Hell.)
“I want my money back! I never got demon possessed at yoga class. What a rip off!” added Jaime Elliott. (Again, laugh now. There will be no laughing in HELL.)
Controversies about the relationship between yoga and Christianity have sprung up on social media before. In 2018, conservative commentator Matt Walsh argued that the physical activity of yoga was inseparable from “Hindu worship” in a Daily Wire article titled, “Yoga is a Pagan Ritual. Maybe Christians Should Find a Different Workout Routine.”
Meanwhile, the Catholic Archdiocese of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada, addressed the “Catholic position” on yoga in 2015.
“The Vatican has not felt compelled to tell Catholics that yoga is totally out of bounds,” said Archdiocesan Theologian Dr. Brett Salked. “Many arguments Catholics tend to use against the practice of yoga are, in fact, unCatholic—even superstitious.” (What do you expect from the Catholic Church. The ROMAN Catholic Church is PAGAN. The Vatican worships Satan.)
Mattel, the toy company behind Barbie, has expanded its doll line in recent years to include gender-neutral Barbies, Barbies with vitiligo and hair loss and a Barbie honoring the Mexican holiday Día De Muertos. (DAY OF THE DEAD…worships the DEVIL as the GRIM REAPER. Worships Ancestor Spirits.) Gender Neutral is a slap in the fact to the Creator so who do you think that honors?

‘Yoga Barbie’ Satanic Panic Facebook Post
Reporting
On May 3 2022, a Facebook user warned that “yoga Barbie” poses a spiritual threat to innocent children:
“Yoga Barbie” is at Target on the shelf. Satan always comes as appearing innocent. He will never come with horns and a pitchfork. This Barbie has 5 guided meditations. Remember, Yoga IS Hinduism. You cannot separate the poses from the religion. Each pose is designed to invoke a hindu deity in the spirit realm. I have seen children get possessed by demons.

The ‘Yoga Barbie’ Facebook Post
An attached photograph showed a Barbie doll on a shelf at an unnamed Target location. Screenshots of both the image and the Facebook status update were shared to Imgur on May 12 2022, in a post titled “SATAN YOGA BARBIE”:

SATAN YOGA BARBIE.

At the bottom of the image, the product’s name (“Breathe with Me Barbie”) was visible. Imagery on the packaging included an illustration of Barbie in a yoga pose:
On May 12 2022, screenshots of the same post also appeared on Reddit’s r/insanepeoplefacebook, titled “Yoga Barbie is the new Satanic panic!”
“Satanic Panic” was a brilliant strategy the Satanists pulled off. When the truth was coming forward and children were actually being taken seriously and looking at justice working on their behalf, the Ruling Elite devised multiple plans to discredit, destroy evidence, cover up, pay off and divert attention. The “Satanic Panic” slogan worked as well for them as the “Conspiracy Theorist” strategy. Worked great for damage control. Doesn’t change the TRUTH just glosses over the lies. Those without spiritual eyes can’t see through the smoke screen.
Many people have contacted me through the years about their children seeing orbs in their bedrooms, spirits or having nightmares in their sleep. Many of them have had UNICORNS in their room. Toys, clothes and obsessions with unicorn is common now. Today, the unicorn is a decidedly more magical, gentle creature, running around on rainbows and inspiring millions with regular appearances in “My Little Pony”. Unicorns have also been said to be the representations of light and good magic. Their horns have been said to be made from diamond, to gold, to silver, and even to pure concentrated magic. These unicorns, as innocent as they look, are occult in nature. Satan come innocently into our children’s lives. ALL UNICORNS must be removed, renounced and destroyed in your home. We are to have NOTHING to do with the OCCULT/WITCHCRAFT.
Revelation 21:8 “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
She is right. The unicorn is a demonic symbol. A point of contact in your child’s life for demons to enter. I know that most people today just can’t accept that. That does not make it any less true. MAGIC is also EVIL. There is not “White” or “Good” Magic. No “good” witches. No “good” witchcraft. All MAGIC is witchcraft and ALL Witchcraft is man using demons to inflict his will on the rest of the world. It is about CONTROL. God condemns all contact with spirits.
Does The Book of Deuteronomy Prohibit ‘Yoga Barbie’?
The post referenced Deuteronomy 18:10-12, which BibleGateway provided as follows:
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.
Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible’s Old Testament, and chapters four through eleven pertained to “serving gods other than Yahweh.” Additional sections of the Book of Deuteronomy forbade charging interest on debt, commanded the cancellation of debts “the end of every seven years,” mandated giving “generously to [the poor] and do so without a grudging heart,” and directed caring for the “the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow”; neither yoga nor Barbie dolls were referenced anywhere.
This lady is speaking out of ignorance. She has not done her homework on yoga.
Do Yoga Poses ‘Invoke’ Hindu Deities, and Can Christians Do Yoga?
Yoga poses, also called asanas, represent a practice with a dual purpose — sometimes purely as physical exercise, sometimes as one “limb” of an all-encompassing spiritual practice:
Since the mid-20th century, asanas have been used, especially in the Western world, as physical exercise. In this context, their “overtly Hindu” purpose is masked but its “ecstatic … transcendent … possibly subversive” elements remain. That context has led to a division of opinion among Christians, some asserting that it is acceptable as long as they are aware of yoga’s origins, others stating that hatha yoga’s purpose is inherently Hindu, making Christian yoga an evident contradiction or indeed “diametrically opposed to Christianity.” A similar debate has taken place in a Muslim context; under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, yoga, formerly banned as a Hindu practice, has been legalised, while mainly-Hindu Bali has held a yoga competition in defiance of a ruling by Indonesia’s Muslim Ulema Council.
In a secular context, the journalists Nell Frizzell and Reni Eddo-Lodge have debated (in The Guardian) whether Western yoga classes represent “cultural appropriation.” In Frizzell’s view, yoga has become a new entity, a long way from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and while some practitioners are culturally insensitive, others treat it with more respect. Eddo-Lodge agrees that Western yoga is far from Patanjali, but argues that the changes cannot be undone, whether people use it “as a holier-than-thou tool, as a tactic to balance out excessive drug use, or practised similarly to its origins with the spirituality that comes with it.”
Even if the ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD were to deny the origin and declare their version of Yoga to be free of all connection to Hinduism or Buddhism and 100% exclusively a physical exercise program; that would change nothing! It does not remove the spirits attached. It does not remove the spiritual roots. It does not remove God’s judgement.
Controversies about yoga as it relates to Christianity were not uncommon on social media. In 2018, Vox.com published an explainer following a controversy initiated on Twitter due to a blogger’s inaccurate opinion that yoga was a “pagan ritual.” (Yoga is Pagan Worship to Demonic Deities. That is totally accurate and undeniably true.)
In 2015, the Catholic Archdiocese of Regina, Saskatchewan’s “Ask-A-Theologian” addressed the “Catholic position” on yoga. That analysis began with an observation people sought an “outright condemnation” of yoga practices, and added that the Vatican had never discouraged it:
I have received a couple inquiries about Yoga by e-mail, and heard of others by word of mouth. It seems that a lot of the faithful are wondering what a Catholic is supposed to think about Yoga. Many even desire an outright condemnation from the Church.
That such a condemnation has not yet occurred is an important factor for anyone seeking to honestly answer this question. Despite registering certain concerns, the Vatican has not felt compelled to tell Catholics that yoga is totally out of bounds. Why not?
The condemnation comes directly from GOD. If you want to know what He thinks you can ask him yourself. If you ask him with a pure heart truly seeking the truth… HE will tell you. He will tell you what applies to EVERYTHING… the only thing that matters is the ROOT! Everything else is a lie, a cover up, a deception. You can search out the root pretty easily, if you are honest and looking for the truth.
Many arguments Catholics tend to use against the practice of yoga are, in fact, unCatholic – even superstititous. Those who argue that the practice of putting one’s body into certain positions automatically opens one to malign supernatural forces are making the same mistake that St. Paul criticized in 1 Corinthians 8 when he told those in his congregation who were concerned about eating food that had been offered to idols (much of the available meat in Paul’s time would have come from pagan temples) that “we know that no idol in the world really exists.” (The Catholic Church has nothing to do with the CREATOR. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH is a PAGAN church. THE VATICAN worships SATAN.)
The physical positions of yoga have no more spiritual power of themselves than meat from a pagan temple differs from any other meat. Consequently, there is no problem with a Catholic using various stretches and exercises that may help her or his bad back just because they happen to be yoga poses. (THIS IS A LIE RIGHT OUT OF THE PIT OF HELL)
That analysis went on to note that any Catholic yoga practitioner “needs to be clear that they are merely exercising,” but that there “can be nothing inherently wrong with exercises that enhance our health and wellbeing.” A 2013 BBC article about whether yoga was inherently religious covered concerns from several religions, explaining:
Yoga classes vary. While some feature the chanting of Hindu sutras, others will make vaguer references to a “life force” or “cosmic energy”. A session might end with a greeting of “namaste” and a gesture of prayer. There will probably be a moment for meditation, at which point participants may be encouraged to repeat the sacred word “Om”, which Buddhists and Hindus regard as a primordial sound which brought the universe into being. (see the posts I listed at the beginning of this post for understanding of all those aspects of yoga mentioned.)
But other classes may make no overt reference to spirituality at all. (whether they make any overt reference to the spirituality or not does not make any difference. The spiritual aspect is still present in the terminology, in the gestures, in the poses themselves. YOU CANNOT DIVIDE THE ROOT FROM THE PRACTICE.)
It’s worth noting that many of the post’s claims clearly echoed the long-debunked “Satanic Panic” conspiracy theory that engulfed Americans in the 1980s, an antisemitic disinformation campaign that is perhaps most recognizable in recent history in its most recent iteration, QAnon. (IF we had paid attention to the truth that was being revealedin the 1980’s regarding Satanic activity, witchcraft, rock music and drugs… we could have saved millions of lives and we would not be in the world situation in which we currently find ourselves.)
Is ‘Yoga Barbie’ New?
A 2012 article on PhillyMag.com described a “Yoga Teacher Barbie,” purportedly part of an “I Can Be …” line from Mattel; many of the page links had since disappeared:
And so, it happened. Barbie became a yoga teacher.
Word of the new Mattel-issued doll has been making its way around the internet over the past week [in June 2012]. The Barbie, found at Target stores, is part of the brand’s “I Can Be…” collection, which also includes Barbies pursuing careers as architects, lifeguards, tennis pros and movie stars. Yoga Teacher Barbie comes with a pink yoga mat and tiny dog (for accessorizing, duh).
Mattel’s “Made to Move” line of Barbies (on Amazon since 2018) featured a “trendy mesh top and colorful yoga pants,” and were seen in yoga-like poses in product photographs. The “Barbie Breathe with Me” doll appeared on Amazon in January 2020, and a March 2020 People.com article reported the line was a collaboration with meditation app Headspace:
Barbie partnered with meditation company Headspace to create the dolls. The two companies also teamed up to release custom guided meditations for kids “to raise awareness around nurturing overall emotional well-being through mindfulness exercises.”
The meditation doll (called “Breathe with Me Barbie”) includes a button children can press to play one of the guided meditations. Each meditation session is 4 minutes long, and focuses on themes like kindness, staying positive and settling down.
Breathe with Me Barbie Isn’t Even a Yoga Doll
Although Barbie appeared to begin dabbling with yoga as early as 2012, Mattel’s product page for “Breathe with Me Barbie” indicated that the doll’s function was meditation — not yoga. (this not true according to their own advertising and shown above.)
A complete product description explained that the doll did included five guided meditations for children, explaining its purpose as “wellness,” “self-care,” and awareness of emotional states:
Barbie® doll knows the way to be one’s best is to give yourself the best care! This meditation-themed doll celebrates one of her favorite ways to recharge using lights and sound — mindfulness meditation. The set comes with a Barbie® doll, a puppy and four cloud emojis. Kids simply press the button in Barbie® doll’s necklace to activate one of five guided meditation exercises that use light and sound effects to inspire their own practice. Her puppy helps her visualize — insert one of the cloud emojis into its head to represent a meditative thought bubble, then switch it up for new meditation inspiration. Breathe with Me Barbie™ doll is dressed in cozy loungewear and features extra flexibility for realistic posing and active play. Kids can collect all the Barbie® wellness dolls to explore self-care and expand their worlds because when a girl plays with Barbie®, she imagines everything she can become! Each sold separately, subject to availability.
- Kids can practice self-care as they help Breathe with Me Barbie™ doll with her meditation practice.
- Barbie® doll has lights and sounds designed to inspire mindfulness — press the button in her necklace to start one of five guided meditation exercises that kids can practice, too.
- The puppy helps Barbie® doll focus with visualization: place one of the four cloud emojis — Love Rainbow, Sad Rain, Happy Sunshine or Grumpy Red — into its head to express an emotion; switch them up to express a new feeling.
- Barbie® doll wears inspirational loungewear with a cloud and rainbow graphic on her top and a cloud print on her pants.
- She also features 15 ‘joints’ for more realistic movement and posing — at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, thighs, hips, knees and ankles.
Mindfulness Meditation, Guided Imagery, Controlled Deep Breathing are all part of the RELIGIONS of the HINDUS and THE BUDDHISTS. They are part of their worship to their spirits and the path to becoming one with them.
Christians do not need and should not look to anyone or anything else for their comfort, direction, wisdom, knowledge or anything else… but THE CREATOR. HE provides ALL that we need. If you want peace… go to the PRINCE of PEACE. Do you need to feel loved? Go to the ONE who is LOVE from whom all love flows. If you need provision… got to the one who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, who created the earth on which all things grow and who controls the waters above and below. IF you need healing… go to the ONE who declares I AM THE GOD THAT HEALETH THEE!
Summary
A May 2022 “yoga Barbie” controversy followed a viral Facebook post, claiming that Mattel’s “Breathe with Me Barbie” was “Satan” in disguise, and that yoga poses “invoke a Hindu deity”; the same poster made nearly identical claims and biblical references about unicorns as a secret indoctrination tool. Barbie dolls with yoga themes dated back to 2012, and the doll in question was released in 2020. As for the “Breathe with Me Barbie” depicted in the post, the doll in question was not yoga themed. Mattel introduced “Breathe with Me Barbie” in a 2020 collaboration with meditation app Headspace, designing it to help children relax and better identify and express their emotions.
Meditation and Visualization are intimate parts of the Hindu practice of yoga and we have already seen, are part of most every session of the so called neutral exercise program called Western Yoga.
If the doll is dressed in yoga garb, comes with yoga style equipment and accessories and is designed to accommodate yoga poses… GUESS WHAT? It is a YOGA DOLL! And since You can’t have YOGA without Hinduism and You can’t have Hinduism without YOGA… GUESS WHAT? They are “teaching” your child to “practice” Hinduism.
It doesn’t matter what date an evil was presented… when someone learns the TRUTH they are obligated to share it. EVIL IS EVIL. SATAN IS ALWAYS pacing the earth like a lion looking for those whom he MAY DEVOUR. Those who LOVE GOD, are compelled to do all they can to save as many people as possible.
YOU must decide for yourself whose report you will believe.

“But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:20-22
Yoga brings demon possession which keeps the person captive to the lie – that they have to do their little séance’ breathing technique. They have to keep doing their little witchcraft drill. That’s just it – it doesn’t work.

Barbie’s Yoga Challenge: Demon Worship For Kids video
This video explains all the poses and spirits they worship.

mbg Fitness ContributorBy Gabrielle Frank
Here at mbg, we frequently write about issues with Barbie, and how she’s not the best role model for young girls today. Thankfully, there are a few creative minds who trying to change the toy landscape with more realistic dolls that can provide a positive example for today’s youth.
Meet the AZIAM Girlz, the world’s first yoga doll series. This doll collection was created by Alanna Zabel, who teaches yoga workshops for young girls. There are eight dolls, which are based on the eight-limbed path (or themes) of any yoga practice.
Each doll has a full range of motion in her hips and knees and has a built-in spinal extension, to allow for forward and back bending. She also comes with her own children’s book and a percentage of the profits will go to a charity that character is associated with. For more information about these dolls, check out the Kickstarter page. Below are photos of a few of the AZIAM Girlz; Asana is on sale now, and the others will be available for order soon.
Updated: Dec 16, 2018
In the Yoga Sutras, author Patanjali explains the Eight-Limbed Path as one method that may be used to achieve spiritual enlightenment.
The Eight-Limbed Path is one approach to practicing yoga that is detailed in the Yoga Sutras. It is relatively well known by modern-day yoga practitioners around the world, as many popular style of yoga are based on this approach.It is the only method that mentions the physical practice of Asana (posture),which is the form of yoga that most people are familiar with today.
Aside from Asana, the Eight-Limbed Path discusses a set of moral and ethical guidelines (Yama and Niyama) which lay the foundation for the remaining steps on the journey towards spiritual enlightenment.Other aspects include: breath control (Pranayama), sensory control and withdrawal (Pratyahara), deep concentration (Dharana), meditation (Dhyana), and ultimate bliss (Samadhi).

The dolls are each actually named the names of the 8 limbs of Hindu Suri. This is total indoctrination. They are embedding HINDUISM in the minds of our young girls.

Ashtanga: The Eight Limbs
Modern postural yoga is but one aspect of a total system of self understanding and self-compassion.
While also the name for a certain style of modern postural yoga (to confuse things up a little bit), known for its demanding vinyasa and increasingly challenging sequences of poses, ashtanga also refers to a system of psycho-spiritual discipline that includes postures as only one of eight different practices aimed at opening the practitioner (to demonic influence) to increasingly deeper levels of self awareness (or higher levels of consciousness, if you prefer. Do you ascend, or do you descend? Question for another post…).
The word “yoga” literally translates as “yoke” – that thing that joins the necks of the oxen together when they pull a cart.
The main focus of any yogic practice is actually breathing. So, we see that everything associated with YOGA begins with controlled breathing. Controlled Breathing is a mystic spiritual practice.

Hatha yoga is the gateway to bahiranga yoga. Asanas, pranayamas, mudras and bandhas are techniques to improve the physical system, to service this vehicle. Source

| Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga primarily concerned with mastery of the body, and it is arguably the tradition most familiar to Western culture. The term is derived from the Sanskrit ha, meaning “sun,” and tha, meaning “moon,” leading to the common interpretation that Hatha practices are designed to unite and balance these two energies. Source |
| Hatha yoga is only one aspect of yoga, however, even a little Hatha Yoga can open a gateway to the larger spiritual tradition. Since body and mind are intimately connected, physical flexibility contributes to an increasing freedom from a rigidity of the mind. Hatha translates as Ha meaning sun and Tha meaning the moon.

| Yantra (यन्त्र) (literally “machine, contraption”) is a geometrical diagram, mainly from the Tantric traditions of the Indian religions. Yantras are used for the worship of deities in temples or at home; as an aid in meditation; used for the benefits given by their supposed occult powers based on Hindu astrology and tantric texts. They are also used for adornment of temple floors . Source |
| The term ‘Yantra’ is derived from the Sanskrit root word ‘yam’, which means supporting the essence of an object; and ‘tra’ comes from ‘trana’ or liberation from bondage. Therefore, Yantra essentially means liberation from birth and rebirth. Yantra, Mantra, and Mandala A Yantra is the yogic equivalent of the Buddhist Mandala. Source |
| The literal meaning of Yantra is machine. It is a Sanskrit word meaning mystical diagram, these are specially designed diagrams used as amulets and talismans and are believed to possess, mystical and magical properties. The yantras are based on the ancient Hindu Vedic techniques and are representation of various mantras and deities. The origin of Yantras can be traced back to the ancient Vedic age. It holds a lot of importance in Hinduism and Buddhism. Symbols like circles, dot, triangle, squares, floral patterns and others are used to make yantras, which are representation of cosmic energies and powers. Source |

Significance of Yantras in Hinduism
Yantras are predominantly regarded as devices for devotional sadhanasor practices, and as objects to direct our mind and worship. These are used as tools for mental concentration and meditation.
Keeping a specific yantra in a particular direction in the home, worshiping it and concentrating upon it is said to have distinct auspicious effects. A mantra is the generator of specific currents of sublime sound and its perceivable manifestation; a yantra is a monogram – a spectrograph of this sonic energy. In terms of their spiritual effects, yantras are like schematic sketches of the contours or structures of divine energy fields.
Likewise the images of gods in the temples, yantras are revered and worshiped as symbols of divine powers. The Devi Bhagavat (3|26|21) states – Archabhave Tatha Yantram; meaning – a yantra symbolizes a divine power. Similar meanings are indicated inNaradiya Purana, Gautamiya Tantra, Yogini Tantra, and several other Vedic scriptures.
Yantras are also referred as the abodes of the divine powers of God, or of the deity that it represents. This is why most of the Vedic yantras are named after different divinities, such as, Ganesa-yantra, Sri-yantra, Gopala-yantra, etc. Each yantra needs to be installed with the use of particular mantras, similar to the temple installation of a deity. Which yantra is placed in which direction and how its worship and devotional sadhana is to be performed – the knowledge of these constitutes a science in itself that has linkage with the Vedic cosmology and sciences of mantra, Tantra, and Vastu.
Yantras are widely used in meditation, Pujas and tantric rituals. The act of wearing, drawing, or concentrating on a yantra is said to have spiritual or astrological or magical benefits. Source
Here it ties the Hindu Gods as the energy forms, yantras or geometric shapes represent their bodies, mantras are the life of the gods, all yantras have mantras designed to invoke the power by means of the procedures (or postures) called TANTRAS. All those bizarre and strenuous poses that make up Modern Yoga are indeed invoking Hindu Deities!! (I was at one time under the impression that all the poses were merely sun worship. But, now I see that, indeed there are different deities related to each pose.)
In truth, Yoga is all about being yoked to BRAHMA. They dance around the topic. In the end the 8 limb system is to bring you to unity with the Supreme Being which to a Hindu is Brahma. He is not the Creator God of the Bible.

The eight “limbs” begin with 10 observances, sometimes likened to “commandments,” although there is a hint of the punitive in commandments that doesn’t really come into practice with the eight limbs. To me, they are more closely aligned with the Buddhist Eight-Fold Path, both in spirit and in history. These ten observances are split evenly between the “yamas” and the “niyamas” and proscribe conscious attitudes toward others and toward yourself.

La La Sutras book included in the box and Yoga Sutra related to the 8 Limbed Path.
SAMADHI (BLISS) The ‘final’ goal to become one with Brahma.
All the lokas you have mentioned here like Brahmalok, Vaikuntha or Kailash are abodes of manifest divinities called Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. There are many other abodes of Gods like Indra too. But all these are in the manifest domains. Beyond these is the Brahman or the unmanifest domain. That is called the first divine unmanifest. Source

AZIAM Girlz is a Yoga brand for girls created by AZIAM Yoga. We are dedicated to teaching young girls to love who they are, as they are. Using the basics of Yoga to teach positive self-awareness, we have designed clothing, accessories, bags, yoga products, jewelry, headwear, games, books, and now DOLLS to make the Yoga experience more colorful for our Goddess in Progress™.
First of all, we are not to focus our attention on building ourselves up, developing “self-esteem” our joy and peace comes when we learn who we are in CHRIST. To know God’s love and fellowship with Him. To be children of the King of the Universe and wall in all of his provision and blessing is where we find our truth, our purpose, our fulfillment and our joy.
We cannot self heal, self serve, self advance or promote. He is our glory and the Lifter of our head. We must find HIM to be set free from the law of sin and death. If we develop self love and learn to love our sinful nature, we will be serving the devil forever.
Secondly, God desires that we see ourselves as He sees us. Already completed in Christ Jesus. WE cannot climb steps to reach nirvana, we cannot wrestle control over our emotions and our thoughts. We cannot ever be righteous on our own. The ONLY way that we can be accepted is in CHRIST, and all we have to do is accept HIM. GOD does the rest. He molds us, he directs our path and he causes us to walk in it.
Thirdly, we are gods and goddesses in progress. We are not and cannot work to develop godhood. We can only be changed from glory to glory in the image and likeness of JESUS CHRIST, and then we will be come children of the King and heirs to all that HE HAS.

I shudder to think what the yoga games entail. or what the yoga books teach. Camp and classes are just indoctrination.
Our AZIAM Girlz doll collection are teenage girls, beautiful from the inside out, making a positive difference in the world today. (Ya, about like Bill Gates is a Philanthropist.)The doll collection was single-handedly created by esteemed yoga instructor and founder of AZIAM Yoga, Alanna Zabel. Each doll has been designed to move with full range of motion in her hips and knees – she moves just like you! (Hardly, I don’t know anyone who naturally can bend their back backwards and turn all the joints in complete circles. ) She also has a built-in spinal extension to allow for forward and back bending. Alanna creatively merged modern-day play patterns of young girls today with the ancient philosophy of Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga. Self-funding the five year development process, Alanna poured her passion into the collections, with the focused intention of providing young girls with a doll that is not solely focused on looking glamorous but instead is focused on positive states of being and giving back while inspiring girls to be active, kind, and love themselves AZ.I.AM. (AZ I AM. As I am, in my sinful, selfish state and not AS I AM not growing in the image and likeness of the great I AM.)
Each doll character has her own children’s book, and the sale of each doll and book is donated to a cause / charity related to the theme of each doll. AZIAM and AZ.I.AM Girlz are very passionate about the health and wellness of the youth in all communities, and we are very pleased to be launching these products as a means to positively change the play patterns and healthy alternatives offered in the mainstream marketplace.

| Zip zam should be trademarked. |
It’s a bit of a word salad, but I like the part in the middle where it says “I am perfect AZ.I.AM.” First of all, that’s a great message, but it also really helps me get my mind around the central theme of this line (and the origin of the name, since I didn’t figure out right away).

| I hope so! |
This side of the box also says La La Beads (also trademarked) somewhat randomly at the bottom. What are La La Beads? (we will look at that shortly.)

| This is not the most yoga-like of the poses. Some of the dolls were more clearly doing yoga. |
The AZIAM Girlz are much more about the philosophy of yoga, though, not just the outfits and poses. I didn’t learn anything about yoga from playing with my Made to Move Barbies, but I’ve learned quite a bit from the AZIAM Girlz website. So in that sense–yes. This is the first yoga-themed doll I’ve seen.

The real Alanna is described as being “aspirational.” It might be a typo and they meant to say inspirational, but I’m not sure. To me, aspirational is a negative word. The first thing I think of is aspiration pneumonia (caused by breathing fluid) but that’s just because my brain is strange. Even if I ignore that thought, I assume an aspirational person is somebody who’s main purpose is to gain prestige and make money. Maybe it’s a yoga term that I don’t understand completely? Like aspiring to a higher plane or something? That’s possible. In any case, it seems that AZIAM Yoga was a thing way before these dolls were introduced. You can read more about it hereif you want. I’ve never tried yoga, and now I feel bad about that.
Aspirational – in this case likely means moving you to breathe or breathing herself. Along the same lines as the Barbie that call “Breathe with me”.

Well, for one thing, it seemed odd that the necklace is too large for the doll and probably too small for a child let alone a teenager to wear.
| Mala Beads
The Guru bead is always bigger than the rest and represents a spiritual guide. It is also used as a place maker for the beginning and end of your meditation. It can signify the relationship between a spiritual guide and their student. During meditation the rest of the beads help you keep track of how many times you say a prayer or mantra. Each time you repeat the mantra you move your hand to the next bead. Often times, malas also feature a tassel and it represents a connection between you and God, as well as you and others. (Not the God of the Bible, the HINDU God Brahma) Malas can be made out of numerous different materials and colors of beads and they each have different meanings. |
