Yogis in the US are voicing opposition to proposed measures that would require them to become certified to continue their practices throughout the country.
The government has proposed regulations on the yoga industry that would require those who teach to go through training programs to become certified instructors.

Isn’t it amazing how today’s government officials are always on the look out to regulate. Would they be willing to propose the same type of certification for religious leaders? No Way! We have a thing called the Constitution, which includes a Bill of Rights that clearly tells the government goons to butt out.

The students report that they run faster, their core strength has increased, and that they really have fun! They also sheepishly tell their coaches and parents that their self-esteem and confidence has increased. “During our first season using Empower Yoga significantly increased our durability. We saw a significant decrease in injury and the kids seemed refreshed for their games. The pre-game warm-ups really helped. The kids enjoyed it so much we will be doing this again for Fall Conditioning!” Myron Lowry Head Basketball Coach, Providence High School. In this case, yoga is used as a secret weapon for High School Athletics!
The Galactic Wanderer says:
The fact that we don’t have yoga programs in every school in the nation is a disgrace. Every time it is the short-sighted, fundamentalist Christian who believes that this is some kind of philosophical and spiritual threat to the Christian faith of their children, and so they deprive everyone else of something that can completely change lives.
In one sense the fundamentalists are correct, because yoga will help to dispel illusory mental phenomenon leading to greater clarity. This is definitely a threat to any ideology that is simply obstructionist.
