An elementary school in Dechantskirchen, Austria will no longer teach yoga in gym classes after a parent complained, it was reported on 13 October.
Ingrid Karner had taught children yoga once a month in gym classes. Karner will no longer teach students yoga poses after a parent contacted the school saying that she did not wish to have her child exposed to the form of exercise for religious reasons.
‘All I heard was that according to the Bible yoga should not be allowed and it would lead the children in the wrong direction’, Karner said.
