Hindus disappointed at UK church banning yoga

July 30th, 2010

Hindus are disappointed over a church in United Kingdom (UK) banning yoga in its premises. According to reports, Bridge Methodist Church in Radcliffe, near Manchester (UK), banned an over-50s yoga group which has paid £60 a week for the last about ten years and met there twice a week, fearing its classes could be spiritually confusing.

Group founder member Iris Turner said: This is an insult…we are offended…yoga helped the group’s health. She invited the church minister to take part in a class “to allay her fears”. Currently this group of about 30, which has members up to 82 years old, is homeless. » Read more: Hindus disappointed at UK church banning yoga
