All it does is make it impossible for anyone to legally do the job at all. It's a circle game. The state requires that in order for someone to get a license, they have to get certification from a state recognized school. There are no state recognized schools because none of the instructors could go to a state recognized school because no state recognized school exists. So nobody can get a license. It almost always starts at the school level. After that, they start arresting yoga instructors because none of them could get a state recognized education. If it wasn't for IJ most of these laws would get passed without a popular vote or without an informed popular vote, without people's knowledge. Then suddenly people start getting arrested. They got away with it in some states with braiding. Now they're one by one going through the traditional professions. I could see if they required a physical education degree to teach Hatha yoga. That would make sense, and there are plenty of colleges that teach phys. ed. There are however, more disciplines of Yoga than Hatha. Personally, much like with braiding, this looks like a money grab to me. They'll take advantage of people's ignorance to get insane fees from Yoga schools who are trying to comply with the laws, but then turn around and have them hanging on a string worried about state regulators who've never done Yoga in their lives.

To an extent this could be argued that "they" are trying to protect the public.
