How should principals and teachers respond to parents who are concerned Yoga is a religion or has a religious affiliation?
A good first step is to share the Mindful Practices curriculum with the parent, pointing out the academic and physiological focus of the text. If a parent still refuses to allow their student to participate in yoga, simply have the student go to the reading corner or center during the class’ designated yoga time. Set measurable reading goals for the student during this time, so they too feel their time is valuable and well spent.
