I think India should be proud about the most glorious stretching it has gifted to the world

But glorifying it using sick kids inhospital is kind of begging for credibility for a pseudoscientific practice that has pseudo-modernized through the ages

Many will be surprised to see the term pseudoscience associated with Yoga. Thats bcoz u dont really know principles behind Yoga which is at best, contorted stretches to improve flexibility, nothing more

Yoga delusion

This. Exactly this is my point.
Yoga has been falsely modernized to embrace credibility via scientific studies, when in fact, it's principles are still based on ancient pseudoscientific writings. Read about Kundalini and Bindu in Hatha Yoga!

The best part of being critical of Yoga is that all the Yoga supporters are the ones who are most abusive; and here I am thinking Yoga would give mental peace and harmony. Yoga for humanity?

Heres sumthin every1 needs to understnd abt Yoga

1. Its clubbed alongside Naturopathy, anothr pseudoscience in the Govt teaching curriculum

2.Check some of the principles such as "ethereal aura skin layers"& their functions (unscientific)

3. Non-evidenced based claims of cures
