A catholic priest has banned a group from holding a yoga sessions in the church hall because it is a different religion. I can't say I have ever thought of yoga like that - I thought it was just an exercise technique to aid relaxation, like a more physical form of meditation.

I like the Ommmmm bit. It's the only bit I can do.

Isn't it bizarre that, as GrannyKnot says, many "born-again" Christians are terrified of anything that comes from the East!

They must have forgotten the nativity story in Matthew chapter 2: "Behold, there came wise men from the East to worship Him".

hmm
