Is yoga demonic or spiritually dangerous?

No, yoga is not inherently demonic. Yoga is a physical and mental practice that originated in ancient India. While it has spiritual roots in Hinduism and Buddhism, the physical postures (asanas) themselves are simply body positions and stretches. In the modern West, yoga is predominantly practiced as physical exercise without any spiritual component. The concern often stems from misunderstanding - stretching your body in certain positions doesn't automatically invite spiritual influence. Like any tool, yoga's nature depends on how you use it. If you're concerned, practice 'Holy Yoga' or Christian yoga alternatives, or simply focus on the physical aspects as exercise.
