PraiseMoves has been thoroughly researched and endorsed as a clean and authentic Christian ALTERNATIVE to yoga since 2005 by numerous credible apologists, Christian researchers, and investigators. Despite this, some individuals have tried to misrepresent PraiseMoves by manipulating videos and selectively quoting from our materials without giving the whole story.
Critics often omit crucial context, such as the full explanation that while some PraiseMoves postures might visually resemble yoga, they are fundamentally different due to their scriptural foundation and purpose. The body can only move in a finite number of ways, not an infinite number of ways (more examples are given in the blog post - SEE "READ MORE" BELOW).
Endorsements from respected sources like Harvest House Publishers, the Christian Research Institute, and theologians such as Rev. Mike Shreve affirm PraiseMoves' integrity and mission. Despite facing criticism and misrepresentation from some quarters, PraiseMoves continues to grow and receive support, staying true to its directive to "KICK YOGA OUT OF THE CHURCHES." We remain focused on our spiritual objectives, trusting in the Lord and the protection against the enemy's tactics.

Valentine's Day, traditionally celebrated with hearts, flowers, and romantic gestures, has intriguing historical roots linked to the martyrdom of Saint Valentine in 269 AD. This young believer was executed in Rome for his faith, and over time, his story became intertwined with mid-February celebrations of love, possibly replacing older pagan traditions. Interestingly, multiple legends suggest there could have been more than one martyr named Valentine who contributed to the holiday's origins.
According to ancient Christian writers, Valentine was known for aiding tortured Christians and eventually became a follower of Jesus while imprisoned. Despite facing execution, he reportedly maintained his faith, writing letters to friends with the phrase “Remember your Valentine.” Another account portrays Valentine as a priest who defied Roman orders, performing miracles such as healing a jailer's daughter and leaving her a note signed “Your Valentine” on the day of his death.
Today, while the exchange of romantic gifts continues to dominate the holiday, understanding its deeper historical significance can offer a renewed perspective on themes of love and sacrifice. Rather than diminishing the celebration, this knowledge can enrich it with a reminder that expressing love and faith need not be limited to one calendar day. As you enjoy the holiday's traditional elements, consider sharing the inspiring story of Saint Valentine and reflecting on the depth of commitment and faith it exemplifies.
