I too have been stretching since the 1970s. Range of motion exercise is a good thing.

I don't disagree with Friel. I only point out, that for me, as well as other like minded individuals, stretching is exercise that has no correlation with yoga.Yes, that's true Jimmy. I think the point where Friel finds issue with yoga is when it goes from stretching & exercise into elements of Hinduism & similar religions.
I do think that, perhaps for a lot of people, yoga is merely a form of exercise. However, I think Friel has helpfully brought to the fore other issues of concern, which we ought to be aware of.
I did not know that yoga is the Hindu way to salvation
Just as a side note, I can't quite stomach his presentation style, though I suppose that others like him quite well. I'll just let it go at that!
