Bishop of Waterford and Lismore says kids shouldn't practice yoga as it's not 'Christian'

The cranky cleric has told schools they shouldn’t teach it to pupils, and instead children should spend time “in adoration of Jesus”.

“I have been asked by several people to say a word on yoga and mindfulness. My question is, ‘Will they bring us closer to God or replace him? He quoted a 2015 homily from Pope Francis where stated that “practices like yoga are not capable of opening our hearts up to God”.
