The battle to keep outdoor yoga classes available on public park spaces in San Diego is now heading to the courts. For the second time in a matter of weeks, a popular yoga instructor was ticketed for offering his donation-optional class in Pacific Beach. The city has said that these classes were never legal to begin with and is continuing to crack down. A new lawsuit filed Monday against the City of San Diego, claiming that it is unconstitutional to ban yoga classes on public beaches and parks, comes just a couple days after one of the plaintiffs was detained and cited for holding classes despite the city's crackdown. Following a calming beachside yoga class in Pacific Beach on Saturday came a heated exchange between park rangers, who continued to keep their calm, and yoga instructor Steve Hubbard, also known as "Namasteve," who was detained and ticketed for a second time in the past month for allegedly breaking the city's ordinance against teaching group yoga classes on public beaches and parks. "I'll be honest with you, I probably could have handled it a little bit better," Hubbard told CBS 8, "but when you are violating people's rights, people are going to get a little bit emotional."
