Debating Yoga and Mindfulness in Public Schools

More about the book

Examining the integration of yoga and mindfulness in public schools, the author questions the assumption that these practices are purely secular. Drawing from her experience as an expert witness in legal cases, she analyzes unpublished trial records and insider documents, uncovering connections to religious traditions like Hinduism and Buddhism. The book explores the implications of these findings on the definitions of religious and secular in educational contexts, highlighting the influence of proponents advocating for these practices in schools.
