Summary

For ten years, I devoted myself to yoga and the promises of New Age spirituality, hoping to find healing, purpose, and real peace. I traveled extensively, built a large social media following, and made yoga my identity. Then, God broke into my life. In one striking moment, I woke up to a demonic presence pressing on me—a frightening encounter that forced me to question everything. I realized yoga’s spiritual roots were tied to false gods and that my so-called ‘spiritual path’ was actually separating me from Jesus. Day by day, the Holy Spirit showed me verses in my sleep, revealed the true nature of my yoga practice, and encouraged me to let go of alcohol, old relationships, and anything that blocked me from Him. Surrendering everything I once clung to, I found that Jesus filled me with far greater joy and peace than New Age teachings ever could. I no longer rely on my own strength or mystical practices. Instead, I live in close relationship with God, hearing His voice and experiencing His protection and love. I’ve been delivered from darkness and given a new life in Christ—and I can’t stop telling everyone about the freedom I’ve discovered in Him.

In her quest for health, spiritual connection, and happiness, Jessica Rooney fell in love with Yoga. Over the next decade she did Yoga almost daily, became a certified instructor, and a prominent Yoga influencer through a large social media following. That is until God broke in to reveal Yoga’s true nature and origins in a fairly dramatic way.
