We, EUSD parents and concerned citizens in the district, oppose the implementation of the Ashtanga yoga program in our public schools, funded by the Jois Foundation’s grant. We urge the EUSD Board of Trustees to immediately suspend Ashtanga yoga from the regular school day and restore the prior physical education program (please list your zip code and whether you are an EUSD parent or citizen in the comments section below).

Just because you label it science, doesn't mean it's science. Anybody can google Yoga and see it's religious to the core.

Yoga is a very spiritual practice to the core. I used to teach yoga. I attained teacher certification in India before experiencing a traumatic spiritual experience caused in part by yoga practice. There is much behind the practice. It is not stretching and toning. I am currently working on a website to raise awareness behind the spiritual reality and dangers. I am really encouraged to have just discovered this website and petition. Yoga does not belong in schools. It has its own religious text called the Yoga Sutras. It is a religion. Feel free to contact me at the email address above with questions or comments.

Stretching is fine but keep the chanting and the spiritual stuff at home. Not okay for school.

Even Christian Schools teach youngsters from age two to bow and honour the 330 Million Hindu demons that parade themselves as gods. The Oxford Diocesan Bucks Schools Trust runs Christ The Sower, an ecumenical Christian primary school on the Grange Farm estate. On 17th June 2020, the school website requested: "We would like you to be active" and recommended a youtube channel called Cosmic Kids - Yoga and Meditation. The Cosmic Kids channel teaches children as young as two to sit on their bottoms and bring their hands together over their hearts in prayer. Teachers then instruct them to "say the secret Yoga codeword, which is Namaste". According to LearnReligions.com, Namaste means the god in me bows down to the god in you. This simple gesture of saying 'Namaste' is related to the brow chakra, known in the Occult as The Third Eye. This Christian Primary School even has a Yoga teacher, Sam, who teaches kids aged 2-5 how to worship the Hindu gods/demons. Founder of Ashtanga Yoga, Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois, revealed, "The essence of Yoga is to become one with [the Hindu] god." This is an excerpt from my upcoming article/video exposing Yoga/Mindfulness/Necromancy in Milton Keynes schools and worldwide. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:6 AV

Alarmingly the University of Sydney's 2017 study found the incidence of pain caused by Yoga is comparable to the injury rate of all sports injuries combined among the physically active population. Tim Tahmisian is a Doctor of Chiropractic with 18 years of experience treating spinal damage. Dr Tahmisian warns that [Yoga positions such as the] "Downward-Facing Dog, can be creating the injury or acerbating it." And a heartbreaking photo on Sarah Cooper's Facebook page shows a two-year-old boy in this perilous Downward-Facing Dog pose. This Yoga position is also known as Adho Mukha Svanasana and is the sun salutation. Sarah's comments admit: "tiny seeds were sown two years ago for this love of Yoga at our Baby Yoga Classes...and these days this little yogi practices at home." Dr Brown adds that the sun salutations are bowing down in surrender and worship to Surya, the Hindu god of the sun. Do Sarah Cooper's Baby Yoga or any of the Yoga businesses I've mentioned have the relevant insurance to deal with a spinal injury claim if one should occur? Excerpt from my upcoming 5000 word article/video investigation in to the dangers of Yoga, Mindfulness and Yoga Sex Magick taking place in Milton Keynes and around the world.
