Author,
aerobics instructor and track coach Jennifer Sedlock seeks to inform families
of the growth of yoga in public schools in The Yoga Crisis in America: A Wake-Up Call
to Protect the Children ($47.99, paperback, 9781545623336; $9.99,
e-book, 9781545681862). Yoga receives a
lot of attention as exercise, but is that all yoga is?
Sedlock became concerned about the use of yoga in schools
when Ashtanga yoga replaced 2/3 of Physical Education at her children’s public
school. She joined with other parents to
protest the change and the opposition eventually turned into a lawsuit. She continues to advocate for children across
the country whose PE is being replaced by yoga.
“We hope to expose the fact that yoga is not as innocent
as it seems to Americans - that the poses are not only rooted in spiritual gestures;
but that it is a religion within itself, created for a non-physical purpose,”
said Sedlock.
Jennifer Sedlock is a management and training professional
with a Bachelor’s degree in Business from UC-Berkeley and a Masters in
Organizational Development from USF. She
was a high school track athlete and taught aerobics prior to becoming a
professional speaker and author.
