April 12, 2021 Group Watch: Lifting of School Yoga Ban Advances in Senate

The Alabama Senate Judiciary Committee has assumed a new yoga position. Members of the committee voted 5-1 for a bill lifting Alabama’s ban on ypga classes in public schools. The Alabama State Board of Education banned yoga, hypnotic states, guided imagery and meditation from K-12 public schools in 1993 amid a moral panic stoked by some groups, who alleged that hypnosis and meditation were being used in public schools. The House approved the bill 73-25 last month.
