1. There must be some error

Only morans in the U.S. think that yoga is a religion. :eyes:

C'mon, Canada, don't sink as low as us!

4. Not a religion, per se, but it is a school of Hindu philosohpy.

7. True, but not the way many Western places teach it

'Round these parts, it's all about the expensive yoga mats and cute clothes for the yuppie moms.

11. but there are yoga studios that focus on the religious aspects

i could see parents not being down with that.

5. Isn't eastern BC kinda fundie-freeperish?

If not, sorry for my ignorance on Canadian fundo-geography. Thank you kindly.

2. We have to draw the line somewhere

I think I'm pretty tolerant, but asking him to put his hands together? That's outrageous! Whoever is responsible for this travesty should be caned!

You still a CBC boy? I'm looking forward to "Little Mosque" tonite. See ya.

3. I was expecting a Landover Baptist link in this thread.

That's just ridiculous.

6. These people think that science is a religion as well.

*sigh*

8. Yeah, but only the Hot Naked EVOO Yoga!

Satan don't much care about the other kinds :)

9. I had no idea rednecks lived in Canada. Shocked I tell you!

10. it depends on how it its taught

not the satan part that's silly. but yoga is a religious experience. So if the teacher is having them sit in prayer position and sing hymns offering devotion to the gods, the parents have a legitimate complaint. Perhaps it would be better if the class was just called stretching so that it is clear that it is just focused on the physical benefits.
