Yoga is supposed to bring about calm and tranquillity, but a letter denouncing the practice as anti-Christian is stirring up controversy in Boissevain, Man. It started with the upcoming opening of a new yoga studio in the Manitoba town, 222 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg. "I think yoga has changed and evolved with humanity," said Alvis. "It was kind of insulting, for sure, and I'd like to see the whole discussion on yoga come to light," she said. "I think that people are entitled to their opinion, but I don't think religion needs to be an influence or a decision-making [factor] in yoga."
