He's probably been boasting at the hall that the gym was his own personal ministry territory. Probably been counting return visits and even bible studies among the clients there. I can think of some in my hall who would do just that!

Yoga is not just a form of exercise, the Watchtower has said in 2002:
....
" The objective of yoga as a discipline is to lead a person to the spiritual experience of being “yoked” to or merged with a superhuman spirit. But which spirit would that be? "
....
" Hindu philosophers admit that the practice of yoga can give supernatural powers, even though they usually claim that this is not the ultimate goal of yoga. "
....
" Transmission of thought from one individual to another without the intervention of the normal communicating mechanisms is quite possible. . . . The yogi can make his body invisible. ”

That's an interesting contrast to what the sister I knew claimed to have been told by the Society in answer to her letter. The "Do You Remember?" article which followed this article was even more pointed:
*** w02 8/15 p. 29 Do You Remember? ***
Why do Christians recognize that yoga goes beyond mere exercise and is dangerous?
The objective of yoga as a discipline is to lead a person to being merged with a superhuman spirit. Contrary to God’s direction, yoga involves stopping spontaneous thinking. (Romans 12:1, 2) Yoga can expose one to the dangers of spiritism and occultism. (Deuteronomy 18:10, 11)—8/1, pages 20-2.This was probably around the same period in time that I met the sister who taught yoga. I will say that she didn't exactly impress me as a Witness of good standing in general.

I sincerely hope all their years of encouraging people to "witness" at work backfires on them big time.
So typical witness attitude that everyone else should subsidize their choice to be a JW, even their employer.
