That might be too much for young skulls full of mush indoctrinated in the U.S. publik skools to comprehend. I suggest, "b healthy, b active, bu."
Yoga and Hinduism are two sides of the same coin. Obama and his Team are not Christians, so they don’t recognize that.
....and the mantra will be “OOOOOOOOOOObamaaaaaa.”
Aren’t we supposed to separate church and state?
Don’t let the Black Churches hear you.
Smarter than the average Barry....
Booboo says the picnic baskets are extra...
I’ve done yoga and I’m not Hindu. I took a lot of ballet but never grew swan feathers, either. It’s exercise. But I prefer Pilates
WTF is a “yoga garden”???
Not that Christ has Risen.
