This is a first time that I can remember when Yoga was found offensive. Sure, both catholics and muslims find it to be conflicting with the teachings of their religion but ut never went that far,
Young, liberal, students learn in their universities that freedom of religion and freedom of speech are fine as long as they are not offended by it. In other words, our universities raise now little dictators and brown shirts.
My philosophy is simple. If I don't like certain style of yoga, if I think that instructor is turning it into religious ritual, I quit and go somewhere else.
