Yoga in Public Schools

Parents in a southern California community are considering legal action over the constitutionality of a form of yoga being taught to their children, which they claim is introducing religion into public schools. 
The yoga program, which is being taught in all nine of the schools in the district, is being funded by a $533,000 grant from the Jois Foundation. It is backed by Hedge-fund billionaire Paul Tudor Jones and his wife Sonia Jones, disciples of Sri Pattabhi Jois, the recently deceased master of Ashtanga yoga..
