Leftist claims: practicing yoga contributes to white supremacy

So the fact that we've taken something with humble eastern roots and made it into a high-priced trend could be tangentially twisted into some sort of "white power" statement if you really wanted to finagle. 

Oh, that is some scary stuff there.  After the most recent flare up of my sometimes debilitating back injury (herniated discs), both my Dr. and Physical Therapist suggested that I add Yoga into my training regiment, as a way to enhance my recovery from injury.

Now, I won't be able to attend, as I'll feel like I'm that giant Nazi in the room...
