Russian officials want to ban yoga in the country
_________
Officials in downtown Nizhnevartovsk have announced they will ban all yoga classes from private and municipal facilities as part of a crackdown on "religious cults."
According to the Moscow Times, the owners of two of the city's leading hatha-yoga studios have received letters from government officials warning them that they should stop their classes immediately because the practice of yoga could make people wake up spiritually.

Therefore, the heads of the local departments for physical culture and education also received these letters, in which yoga was described as "inextricably linked to pagan practices" and as having a "distinct anti-Christian character."
Hatha Yoga is based on the Hindu tradition, but is largely practiced as a physical exercise that promotes flexibility and spiritual development.
Yoga is not welcomed by Russian officials. Last year, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Riabkov told Interfax that Americans should "spend less time outdoors" and "not practice yoga."
