Doesn't the vast majority of modern yoga have little to nothing to do with ancient/cultural roots? Like cultural appropriation itself has changed to significantly. Then add in with what we know of human physiology and how we can alter yoga to make it more beneficial to us it's basically a Western thing now.

correct. it's really just about stretching and focus.

but conservatives like these aren't known for being well educated. they aren't even being shy about the xenophobia here.

This is just their way of saying they don't want a bunch of land whales trying to do yoga

Yeah this. I've never taken a yoga class that had any sort of religious themes outside of general spirituality and maybe some explanation on what some of the poses are supposed to mean.

The ban only effects public schools. You're more than free to do Yoga outside of the education field. It also effects meditation and hypnosis so while it's a stupid law, saying it's only there to attack Hindus makes you sound just as ignorant.

but they literally said they're afraid of it turning people Hindu

At a public hearing on Wednesday, representatives from two conservative groups said they were worried it could lead to the promotion of Hinduism or guided meditation practices.

It's Alabama. Do you really expect them to make a smart, and rational decision or actually know anything about which the U.S was founded?

"Rules for thee not for me" might as well be the right's official motto at this point.

It says in the article they don't want the potential promotion of Hinduism in public schools, which is no different than what the separation of church and state folks have been saying for years about other religions.

Whether you think yoga promotes religious views is another factor.

We understand what they're saying.

The problem is what they're saying is stupid as fuck, and they'd probably have no problem with promoting Christianity in schools
