Yoga Article

I recently read this article above, and was astounded.
Let me start off by saying, that for me, yoga is spiritual but not in the sense of religion but more so oneself and being wholly entranced and in harmony in your body.

This article describes how a school in California implemented yoga in order for children to be promoted into a healthier lifestyle and common exercise.
However, parents responded with outrage, saying this is practicing the hindu religion and that removing their own children from this causes forced segregation.

Yoga is not meant to close the mind into one type of thought, but instead, open your mind to so many possibilities. Often people forget that even through positive thought, negative actions can happen therefore its so imperative that people are aware of something before accusations arise and its important to always keep an open mind.
