Default the quacks are at it again.... yoga is bad...

It's apparently anti-Christian, and encourages children to accept Hindu gods........ The ignorance on this planet is absolutely stunning.

for some reason, after reading that line "onward Christian soldiers" sung by Rod & Todd from the Simpsons jumped into my head.

My God how many people actually associate yoga with religion, its excerice and actually if you do yoga your grades improve, some people just go way to far.

There you go, yoga is the devil's afternoon workout.

If yoga is the work of Satan, why are the pants so godly?

Yoga has historical roots back 5,000 years in the culture and religion of Hinduisim but the Yoga praticed by most western people have removed the religion to just focus on the physical and mental benifits. I agree with most on this site that people compaire this to Satan should focus on other in the school system before this as an issue. How about reading something more then the bible? That would fall into the lap of this quote "If you're not seeking the God of the Bible, His power, then by default you're in the other camp"

Reminds me of a guy I know, an atheist though, who freaked out on his daughter's kindergarten teacher because the teacher made the class paint "Yin-yang" symbols. He walked right into the class and accused her (an immigrant from China) of pushing her religion on the students.

The whackos come with all kinds of religious (and non-religious) beliefs.

(As a side-note, the guy I know did feel bad after and regrets the way he handled it. He literally "freaked out" at her and made her cry).

The person who filed this complaint is 68 years old. Presumably the withered old clam doesn't even have children in school. Talk about a busybody.

If that show Namaste is the work of the devil then I think I'm in trouble.

I went into LuluLemon once and I couldn't believe the cost of the pants that they were selling, it was something like $115 for the pants, and I walked into the store thinking they were something like $40-50... they really are the wonderbra of pants though... and both Canadian I believe.

Didn't Jarome Iginla incorporate some yoga into his workout routine this year?
I incorporated it into my training for football after injuries from car accidents (and football) and still use a lot of it today. Despite that, I know nothing about the Hindu religion-how is that possible?

LuLuLemon is a line created by the same people who came up with WestBeach clothing.

"lululemon athletica Inc. was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1998 by Chip Wilson, founder of Westbeach skate and snowboard clothing company"

Cost of them is freakin rediculous but they make an a$$ look like gold so well worth it
