Christian Author Warns Against New ‘Breathe With Me’ Yoga Barbie: ‘Satan Is After The Children’

The new “Breathe With Me” meditation Barbie has garnered criticism from a Christian influencer who says the toy is coercing children into satanic practices linked to yoga.

Manufactured by Mattel, the doll retails at $24.99, and the packaging shows the Barbie in a seated yoga pose with her legs crossed and palms facing up. Children are encouraged to press a button on the doll's crescent moon necklace to listen to the sounds of "five guided meditations.” The product is designed for children ages 3 years old and older.

According to Mattel: “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. 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.”

Yasmeen Suri, Christian speaker and author of the books, Beautiful Deception and The Fake God Reference Guide, took to Facebook earlier this month to warn parents that under the guise of self-care, yoga's methods are an invitation to an unforgiving spiritual realm. Suri came across the product while shopping at Target and shared a photo of the doll she saw on the shelves.
