A bill that would exempt yoga and martial arts teachers from getting permits is expected to be signed into law sometime this month.
The bill was passed by the state Assembly as well as the state Senate and is supported by the Department of Education. Last year, the state told yoga instructors that their teaching of the various forms of the practice would be regulated, according to an Associated Press report.
The state sent letters to various studios, saying that if they didn’t get certified, they would be fined as much as $50,000. Other than yoga, the exemption covers religious activities, martial arts, poetry, art, painting, athletics, and other recreational activities.
