This was emailed to me today and since it deals with Orthodoxy, I thought I would share.

I might differentiate between "yoga" as a set of stretching and strengthening exercises, and Yoga as a spiritual discipline (generally referring to Raja Yoga, a form of Hindu practice). I know the two often get conflated (that is, "exercise" yoga is rife with Hindu Yoga as part of its marketing strategy), so probably "best to avoid," but the stretching itself seems rather harmless on its own.

It's true. In fact, I snapped this picture of Mac this morning doing yoga!
I know some Catholic high schools offer it as a PE elective, but remove or Christianize the spirituality.
