Removing clearly false statement
[edit]" Only qualified instructors are allowed to teach yoga to children.[11]"
In what state or country do authorities require "qualified" instructors to teach yoga to children? I am not aware of any state regulations on the matter and if there is are in some specific state it needs to be mentioned "in some jurisdictions" or perhaps mentioned that it is some guidlines of some major yoga organization if that is the case. Clearly in every country yoga is practiced authorities do not make such requirements. In particular there are no federal U.S. laws or E.U. laws on the matter (and even if there were remember wikipedia is not U.S. or E.U. centric, a U.S. federal law or E.U. law is not applicable to all of wikipedia's readership. )
The statement is sourced but the source is a bad source---the only mention of qualification is the author of the article saying "parents *should* get qualified instructors for their kids". Please fix the statement before putting it back in (and please avoid copying the article's statement suggestion. *Should*s are generally not encyclopedic.) 142.129.212.35 (talk) 16:42, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- It is true the statement is false. Perhaps the author meant that it is best to have some training/experience to teach children so that the practice is safe and students do not hurt themselves.--Ombase (talk) 15:45, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
