Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Martha,As a libertarian, lobbyist, and kundalini yoga teacher here in Washington, D.C., I want you to know that your essay* just reinforces stereotypes about the myopia of dogmatic groups, like your brand of Christianity. Students of mine who are Christian haven't felt that yoga threatens their faith; indeed, many say yoga brings more meaning to their faith in a higher power (God), a deeper connection with something greater than themselves.*http://www.newswithviews.com/West/marsha61.htmHave you ever taken yoga classes, or are you threatened that working out your body and sitting still, while breathing deep, may make you not want to attend Church? Have you no clue about the incredible, healing results* Dr. Khalsa is getting at the University of California from kundalini yoga meditation (he's now working with Dr. Newburg at the University of Pennsylvania)?*http://www.drdharma.com/utility/showArticle/?objectID=249Despite a repetition in the Media of "yoga threatens Christianity" articles, I'm heartened that yoga's growth is explosive, and that millions more people every year continue to achieve calm and productivity, while still, in many cases, faithfully attending Church.Blessings,Charles D.
