SAN DIEGO—The city of San Diego’s ban on yoga classes in public parks and beaches was ruled unconstitutional on June 4 by a federal appeals court that found such classes are protected by the First Amendment.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling states city officials had not shown any “plausible connection between plaintiffs teaching yoga and any threat to public safety and enjoyment in the city’s shoreline parks.”
