Hmmm, what happens if a person is teaching a yoga class and later on one of the pupils decides to teach their own yoga class?
More government over-reach. What is the state providing in return for all this additional cost and hoop jumping? What expertise is the state providing in terms of teaching yoga? It’s all burden and no benefit.

So far they have all said the same thing, the teachers union does not want anyone to teach anything to school kids, even after hours, unless they belong to the union.
