Yoga

While Bishop Stang High School does not endorse the spirituality from which yoga originates, it is generally recognized as a helpful form of exercise and relaxation. As Msgr. Charles Pope noted: "The Church generally distinguishes between physical postures of yoga and the philosophy or religion from which they come. The adoption of a physical position, even if originating in a religious system other than Christianity, is permissible provided the posture is sought apart from the religious tradition which originated it."
