It's about some religious leaders who think that yoga shouldn't be practiced by observant Christians. It reminded me of our discussion yesterday about the possible conflict between Renaissance Christianity and the promotion of classical Greek and Roman ideals. It seems the same tensions exist here. Can an observant Christian be a follower of Seneca? Can an observant Christian practice yoga? Feel free to comment here if you want.
