Yoga is an increasingly popular sport that is supposed to relax the mind and body. Yoga is now being offered in some schools. Yoga and some of its poses are associated with some religions such as Hinduism. Some parents are upset that it doesn't follow their religious beliefs and they are pulling their students from their P.E. classes. Do you guys think that it is necessary to pull your student from P.E. for that reason? Also, Would anyone like to have yoga in P.E.? I would!

Good job! You could give your thoughts in the summary perhaps.
I think yoga would be a good thing to have in pe. After having some stressful classes, this would be great! I think that if having Christmas parties in school and decorating for different holidays is allowed, then so should yoga.
You make a very good point! Christmas and other holidays teachers decorate for are religious so this shouldn't be a problem.
This is awesome. I wish we did yoga in P.E. Cause it really helps you loose weight and makes you calm and get abs too. Love it.
I think it is a great idea also! School can be really stressful so doing yoga could help a lot of people
I think they're blowing this way out of proportion, it's just yoga... the schools aren't meaning the yoga to be for religious purposes but for relaxation and fitness. I think it would be a good idea to have yoga offered in school, giving students the option whether or not to participate in the activity.
That's a really good point. The school wouldn't have done if it was going to cause controversy
I think they are over reacting! still the school should not be doing those certain poses or whatever they do if it is making people tense over religion instead of relaxing over yoga.
I think maybe they can just have yoga as an option and not required in P.E. class
I would love to have yoga in P.E. It is relaxing and I also do not think that people should pull them from the class they could maybe just sit out on those days or do something else P.E. related.
