		<description>Thanks for the info, Alison. That&#039;s great that YogaCity has hired reporters, hopefully we can get some major press coverage... Kelsey Kaufman also suggested contacting Ron Paul and his Campaign for Liberty; they have a huge mailing list and are vocal supporters of freedom.</description>

		<description>PS I realize I included some of the same links as the blog article itself.  What I wanted to communicate is that they provide on-going, evolving news every day and can be relied on for the latest news, not just one article or posting.</description>

		<description>I am meeting with state officials this morning, Friday May 15, and will send Jo Brill the results of the meeting.  Here are the best links:

She has a fantastically useful blog up with relevant information:
http://www.yogaforawareness.org/yogaregulation.htm

Yoga City NYC has hired reporters to follow the matter, and post daily about the situation, meaning up-to-date all-round information, interviews and so forth: http://yogacitynyc.com/yoga_week.php#39

The law itself: http://www.highered.nysed.gov/bpss/revisedlaw.htm

You should write, as some of us already have, to Mayor Michael Bloomberg (this concerns NYC residents--yoga teachers and those who receive the benefit of Yoga--, Senator Eric Schneiderman and Governor David Patterson.  The more letters they receive, the better.  Emails and addresses at &quot;Contact&quot; on their websites, if you don&#039;t already have them.  Other major NY studios have lawyers addressing the issue and are in contact with various State officials.  We hope to co-ordinate our efforts, even though each center has a different mission and may be affected differently by the law.  

Take the name &quot;school&quot; out your name if it&#039;s there.  There are laws about that too!

Namaste!
