Are Yoga, Tai Chi Or Reiki Unsavoury?

[sandyRoe]

This parish priest thinks so, but I beg to differ.

yes............yoga, the devils work :)

[seekeerz]

Rubbish !

[sandyRoe]

Maybe not quite the Devil's work but iffy nontheless. I was trying a particularly difficult Asana and did my back in. Has never been the same since.

[anneasquith]

difficult asana ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol

[seekeerz]

Poor sandy ! Try some reiki, that might help xx

[Cloverjo]

How ridiculous. I've been to Tai Chi and yoga classes. Religion or anti-religion plays no part in them. Is the priest confusing them with something else?

[sandyRoe]

This priest is based in the West of Ireland. That's Father Ted country. I've a suspicion that it's a Father Jack type of priest that made that particular pronouncement.

[anneasquith]

the people were '' baffled and bemused'',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,really.

[sandyRoe]

Backwoods journalists love a nice bit of alliteration

He must be a descendant of the priest who tried to prevent me from joining the Brownies when I was seven...in case I encountered a Protestant....☻

A lot of ants protest these days.

Climbing their hills with their little banners....sweet.....☺

All good non denominational forms of exercise. I do Tai Chi.

[Arksided]

Just as well I'm quite flippant and quick footed, I ache and moan enough as it is... all that other shenanigans looks painful.

[sandyRoe]

Gness, 'He must be a descendant of the priest...'. You're not saying that an Irish priest would indulge in carnality?
Shame, shame! ;-)

[lady-janine]

sandy. irish priests should never be spoken about within polite society. to many emotions roused

[sandyRoe]

Quite right, Lady-Janine. They're beyond a joke.

[rockyracoon]

One of my previous parish priests was an avid practiser of yoga but said he knew a few priests that wouldn't let their parish hall out for yoga lessons.

[ummmm]

This is my cousins uncle. He's made a hell of a lot of money...
