Jeremy Gray to overturn a ban on yoga in public schools that went into effect in 1993, Gray tweeted.
He credited yoga, which he learned was no longer offered as an elective to students. Not only was it not offered, he found, but Alabama was the only state in the country to ban the practice in K-12 public schools.While Gray's bill would open the door for yoga in schools, it would also keep some limitations.
