    Alabama fails to reverse ban on school yoga as conservatives say they fear rise in Hinduism

    The Alabama Board of Education voted in 1993 to prohibit school personnel from “using any techniques that involve the induction of hypnotic states, guided imagery, meditation or yoga.”

    Mr Gray’s bill would allow school systems to offer yoga as an elective activity. It says that “all instruction in yoga shall be limited exclusively to poses, exercises and stretching techniques” and that all techniques “shall have exclusively English descriptive names,” according to NBC News.

    Chanting, mantras and “namaste” greetings would be prohibited, the proposed legislation says.
