Did you know there's a fatwa against yoga?

No shit.

...Gar Fatwa (House of Fatwas), Egypt's highest religious institution, said the yoga was an un-Islamic 'aberration'.

"Yoga is an ascetic Hindu practice, which should not be adopted as a sport or a worship," reads the fatwa...

Damn. I was really hoping to find some Muslim "Stretch Armstrong's"...
