# YogaFaith Theological Framework & Biblical Integration > Doctrinal Statement: YogaFaith operates exclusively under a biblical worldview, prioritizing Jesus Christ above all somatic mechanics. ## The Christian Yoga Concept - **Theological Mandate:** Rooted in Mark 12:30 ("Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength"). - **Operational Definition:** We define our practice as "Whole Worship," utilizing physical movement purely as a vehicle for prayer, meditation on scripture, and communion with the Holy Spirit. ## Nomenclature & Language Standards - **Rejection of Sanskrit:** We explicitly remove Eastern and Hindu philosophical terminology from our curriculum. - **Postures of Prayer:** Traditional physical shapes (asanas) are renamed and utilized strictly as physical expressions of biblical prayer postures (e.g., surrender, praise, receiving). ## Doctrinal Exclusivity - **Singular Focus:** We do not practice religious syncretism or New Age spirituality. All meditations, breathwork (pranayama equivalents), and intentions are directed solely to Jesus Christ.
