[Some Christians in Quesnel, British Columbia, are taking aim at a province-wide public-school program that uses yoga to promote fitness.]
"Supposedly, we do not allow religion in schools -- and yoga is a religion," said cattle rancher Audrey Cummings, 68, who filed a complaint with the Quesnel school board and the Education Ministry over the Action Schools program.
Yoga turns kids' minds toward Hindu gods, Cummings said.
"If you're not seeking the God of the Bible, His power, then by default you're in the other camp," Cummings said. "The other source of supernatural power is Satan."

f you're not seeking the God of the Bible, His power, then by default you're in the other camp,
As someone mentioned in another forum, yoga is about as much a religion as jogging. And even though it may be associated with Hinduism, we're not banning sandwiches from school just because bread is associated with communion.
God, satan, the bible, god's power and hindu gods. You follow this horseshit over the results from yoga? At lest yoga gets results.
Ah, yes, wisdom from B.C.'s southern lower mainland, or, Fundyland north.
One, yoga is a technique, not a religion, and has been practice by the priest who married me for more than 8 years. Second, you take advantage on the second paragraph to preach that they´re adoring Satan, where is the separation then State church?, or only it exists when convenient to you?
There's nothing supernatural about yoga, Audrey, and it's got nothing to do with "gods" of any sort, including your own. Should we outlaw jogging because the ancient Greeks invented the marathon?
What would be "good Christian exercise," then? Bearing one's cross?
I flagged this when I was reading my daily news on Google. I couldn't believe there were people this retarded living in BC.TM to fit in with her interpretation of Christianity?
Yes, Berny, that's what I thought of too! I can't remember the site, but it was some Christian Yoga nonsense.
Yeah, I've been hearing "Yoga lets in the demons!" for a dozen years or more, ever since I was a little sprout in high school.Zelda collection or I'll start worshipping Din, Nayru, and Farore. And everyone knows, if you're not in their camp, the other source of supernatural power is Ganondorf.
So, to ease the pain caused by your perfect God giving me a fucked up hip, I should turn to addictive and harmful painkillers instead? Or just the power of prayer? Or better yet, welcome the doctrine of pain?
Wow Quesnel that's like 100 km from my house, but yes sadly there are nutjobs everywhere even in beautiful BC, if only it could be weed and hippies I'd be happier but oh well something to laugh at anyway.
yoga is stretching. It's exercise. There's no religion about it, it's name just references Hindu dogma.
Call it "unity of mind and body", that's what it means, I don't care, just stop being stupid.
Yoga leads you to, in order: looser joints, looser flatulence, and looser hippie chicks.
Nowhere in there do we find Shiva.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
