San Diego tightens regulations on beach yoga

- The City of San Diego has cracked down on beach yoga activities, drawing criticism from instructors who have long been conducting free classes at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park.
It’s good to know our city is focused on what’s important. 🙄
I see you work for sarcasm like I do! 😂. I love it! I wish the pay was equal to my skills 😢. It’s tough out here.
Yoga regulated illegals in boats not so much
It is annoying when you’re just trying to walk and enjoy your day and there’s 50 hipsters all around you😂😂😂
Managed Democracy can fix this.
Meanwhile across town… the cartel is murdering
you can't do yoga on the beach but you can pitch a tent on the sidewalk and smoke meth, crack and fentanyl
i could "pitch a tent" doing yoga; with a proper view/views...
They are selling a business on public property and restricting other people's use of the area. So yes they should be banned
@@z-z-z-zIm betting you pitched a tent looking at the guys they are showing
@@chiquita683 Ban it!!
Hahahaha
and let boat loads of people cross the border...
USA... Land of freedom...
You cannot do yoga on a public beach.
What a joke.
One word: California
The Divided States of America, Home of the fee, Land of the Slave
Do yoga all you want, just get a permit. Pretty simple.
In New York you can. California is run by idiots.
"Requires a permit." - to gather and do Yoga? WTF?
I wonder if it’s because they want money out of the yoga instructors 😅
Yes, because there is limited space in certain locations and if you don't limit it a little bit pretty soon the entire beach is taken up with people using it to make money, leaving no room for anybody else. Why didn't the reporter bother ask the City if they'd be given a permit if they applied for one? Why didn't the reporter ask if there was a FEE for the permit?
@@johnsimion2893 The fee is generally minimal; the process to apply for permit is also not that complicated.
@@johnsimion2893yeah that’s true. I want to think it’s extreme yet you make a really good point!
So with high crime, high taxes, businesses leaving the state, huge homeless problems and this is what the city is cracking down on?
High crime? lol😂 Say you are talking from your ass without saying it.
Well yes, these are mostly white. not armed. Not angry or aggressive people who are not backed up by Angry Aggressive people.
yeah, you probably voted for it!
@@JohnCash001 You really don't know anything at all do you.
Yoga is evil....everyone knows that Yoga killed the Roman Empire.
Ridiculous! This is their priority? Who votes these people in office? SMH
People in San Diego did 😂
Voting don't count...The Elites place them in office
@@SC_XOLOs 🤣😆 🤣 I bet they vote for them again.
its california. doesn't that explain it all
Idiots who flee the cities they ruin and go to ruin other ones
Whom are they bothering? Who complained? It's a cliff, not a beach. Yoga is quiet. It doesn't leave behind trash. Trying to figure out how this is an issue.
Is it classes were they charge participants?
donations = no taxes/less taxes for the city. that's why. that want their share: rent a yoga studio ($3500 in SD), and so on... see?
It's a nuisance. It should have a separate area.
If there are too many people out there teaching classes and selling stuff, pretty soon there is no room left for anybody else. Competing vendors/teachers can also get into disputes with each other (e.g., "I was here first!" "No you weren't, this is MY space!"). With a permit, they can be spaced out so there are no arguments about space and nobody needs to be crowded.
@@bluebee5266please explain to me why you consider a quiet hour long class a nuisance. I truly want to know why you think this…
This helps me understand why America doesn’t have more community gathering places. It’s a real loss.
social engineering
Amerikants are getting stupider by the minute.
Meanwhile down the road prostitution is damn near legal

So if your family has 5 people you need a permit to go to the beach?
Yes, keep your legs closed
@@chiquita683 What the hell has that got to do with me going to the beach with my family????? Silly comment.
@chiquita683 Damn right. 😅
Correct. Just the other day two catholic families and a Mormon family were arrested for too many children.
@@loriar1027 its an organized event with over 4 people if your family is big enough.. you democrats are mentally ill!
A permit is required for activities of groups of more than 4, so a permit is required for a family picnic? Wow that's dystopian!
Idiocracy in action
Sounds Like These Council Assholes Owe Some Permit Fees... Bastards Will Fine And Tax And Charge You Permit Fees For Breathing Once They Have A Big Meeting And Figure Out How..
Politician’s Are Assholes!!
That’s Why They Never Fix Anything!! Because Once They Fix It The Funding Gets Cut!! So If You Think About It..?!? We Pay These Assholes All This Money To Go Around Fuck Shit Up!!! And They’ve Been Doing That For So Long...Nobody Does It Better.,.
.M
Is the family picnic a commercial recreational activity?
@@jbc6980It seems the free yoga classes are not a commercial activity, unless there is peer pressure to give donations, in which case your point is valid.
Does money typically exchange hands at your family picnics?
Police protecting us from health, wellness, and food vendors trying to make an honest living.
Cause yoga is worse than the crack heads breaking into cars what a joke all there trying to do is stay peaceful and healthy
Drugs are ok.
Exercise for free.... wait right there.. FREEZe scumbag
Yeah but they leave class ready to share peace and friendliness. Thank God someone has the courage to stop this offensive behavior.
Back to first grade to learn basic English with you.
@@RobotronOG I must spend more time proof reading and less time in my yoga poses.
Comparing apples to oranges.
If those people were on that beach with needles, setting up homeless tents, or doing sex work, the city wouldn't bother them.
Yoga sex workers? 😅 Hmmm.
and some immigration too, it's like Ellis Island
If they were doing sex work with more than 4 people at a time on public property then they probably would be told to leave also
Same people that send billions to Ukraine lol
almost like the cartel elected officials for you. that you thought you voted for. Or did vote for, just because they’re blue no matter who.
So much for public use. Taxpayers should stop funding the beach if they can't use it.
This is a First Amendment violation - it’s a public area and the public has a right to peaceably assemble and freely associate. Especially when it’s not a commercial activity. Even the rule they’re quoting says 4 or more people gathered for a _COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY_ which a free yoga class is not commercial.
The way this is being interpreted and enforced at the moment, would apply equally to a family of 5 doing anything together at the same beach.
I wonder of they could beat this on first amendment grounds if they registered as a religious establishment and argued that they are doing yoga at a beach as a religious act...
@@immcguyver07the right to assembly doesn't require religious reasons
@SoulDelSol true, view if you found a way to make the whole thing an "evangelical trump supporting 'church' organization", it would be protected like it was a government organization.
They live next to Mexico
They have homelessness everywhere on the streets. And they give the yoga people a hard time. Wtf ?
😂😂😂
❤️❤️❤️
I’ve about had it with this crap. I went in to Starbucks yesterday and there was two male bums in the Women’s restroom. I witnessed 3 ladies walk to restroom , open the door only to see two grown ass bums in the women’s bathroom. The ladies came out practically running and scared because homeless guys were in the ladies bathroom. I immediately walked up to both dudes and told them to kick rocks and that they have no damn business in the ladies restroom. I had to get loud and tell them get the fuck out. And they did.
And it sucks because the police don’t do shit anymore and you people wonder why innocent bystanders get killed nowadays for trying to be the hero . Because we have no choice because law and order don’t exist as well as common sense or courtesy. TF out here
Will now they been very tough on homelessness too I don’t see them as much as it was 3 years ago
Money is the root of evil!
I’m glad the city of focusing our limited resources on the most pressing criminal issues in San Diego society. I feel so much safer.
😂
Yes me too. 👈 Sarcasm
I'm glad the city is preventing wealthy business owners from taking over public property to run their businesses for free while collecting tax free income and sidestepping the existing permit process.
@@ACECEE-gc2pu gotcha Karen
@@nadagabri5783lol now we know who told
When it’s FREE you can’t regulate people doing yoga on the beach. This is absolutely government overreach. It’s flipping yoga for God’s sake 😑
Healthy behavior is not permitted? - is this ridiculous?
Every state should be happy to have people caring for their health, given the obesity and drug crisis the United States is in.
We crack down on yoga not crime
Its crack up. You can do crack on beach.
There is crime everywhere and they are concerned about people wanting to exercise on the beach, which goes on daily with walking, running, surfing, hanging out on the towel and chilling with mind therapy, etc... this is absolutely ludicrous!
As far as the news I’ve gotten goes, I don’t hear insane San Francisco stories about San Diego. But I could be wrong. Isn’t it nice that their problems go to this extent? At that level, you think about quality of life and quality of society. Not survival. Therefore then, how do you like it when 20 people are hoarding public space and running some kind of program or agenda. It’s annoying, isn’t it?
Sounds too free..
US cops don't arrest criminals, they create criminals.
Walking, running, and surfing are all solo activities that are public. A yoga class is a commercial activity, regardless if the yoga instructor charges for the services or not. Performing any kind of commercial service in a public space requires a permit. That means if someone was offering group walking, group surfing, or group running services as a class or any other commercial endeavor, whether for a fee or not, they would need a permit. It is not the activity that is the problem, it's the capacity in which the activity is taking place that is the problem.
It's really not that hard to understand.
Prohibiting yoga is NOT what this is about. Individuals can go do yoga on the beach all they want. This is about running a business on a public beach. Any business. These yoga instructors are using the public beach as their venue. It's not fair to the other vendors who get a licence to sell on the beach. They need to get a licence no different than the hot dog vendor or go rent a business space.
This from politicians who consider themselves to be "inclusive" and "progressive."
Only to ILLEGALS and CRIMINALS!!! Afraid to offend them!!
What is the rational for making the Yoga class get a permit versus a group of people putting up a volley ball net and have 25 or more people either watching or playing?
A new do not enjoy the beach law
Exactly right their presence is irritating somebody who thinks the beach is only for their own enjoyment not the yoga people
Remind me of covid
Whew … I’m glad the city finally got their priorities in order
So am I. You have capitalists trying to take over public land.
This is only the beginning. You voted for this.
A “public beach” in California, you need a permit to look at the Pacific Ocean if 5 of you and your besties are together. Next, a permit to look up at the night stars and a Public Works inspection to flush the toilet. WTF happened to California? And, those that stay are not only OK with that but vote in more of the same nanny politicians. Unbelievable.
Yeah. I live in San Diego. The streets look like they have been bombed, the city is crawling with homeless, housing is outrageous, I can’t get out of the grocery store for less than $100. What problem does the city decide to tackle? Beach yoga? Of all the problems facing this city, they decide to attack a few people getting some fresh air and exercise? WTAF
Sad politics 😢
Well, they ARE White women, so, you know, it's allowed to discriminate.
Don’t forget the border crisis, mishap, criminals hopping fences. San Diego is pretty close to the border along with Baja but yaw’ll use law resources to bust some yoga instructor’s that are only there an hour or two at a time. Smh 🤦♀️
Pretty dumb to prohibit yoga at the beach!
yoga isn't prevented at the beach. you and two of your friends are free to go disgust everyone all you want.

The more I learn about Cali, the more I question why anyone lives there lol.
If you WANTED to destroy both a sense of community and people's connection to the natural world - I'm not sure how you could accomplish that any better than with legislation and enforcement like this. I watched a similar thing happen at a small pond in north county where until a few years ago I took my young grandsons to feed the ducks and learn to fish by catching and releasing some small catfish. First the park service put up signs to stop all fishing which really disappointed my grandsons. And about a year ago they put up signs stopping people from feeding the ducks. As my brother once put it regarding such ridiculous legislation - "the bean counters have won." Cutting urban children off from the few options they have to engage the natural world is completely clueless and cruel in my opinion. Similarly it makes no sense to ban people from doing a free yoga class on the beach. : /
Feeding ducks depending on what you feed them is unutritional to the point of making them vulnerable to disease. If you’re feeding them frozen peas instead of bread, I’d give you a pass.
@@americanbookdragon how about 25lb bags of "duck feed" from the local feed store - which we handed out in small bags to any other children we saw so they could feed the ducks too?
Man, I must be getting really old. I remember when America was the land of the free, not an over regulated to death goddamn nanny state.

I think the park rangers and city officials need to find something to do with their spare time. What a joke.
they can make yoga
Your comment?
Big government takes control little by little, inch by inch. Big government means small citizens.
First they came for the Hot Dog vendors, and I said nothing...
I'd love to see the city take this much initiative with the unlicensed vendors. Maybe cleanup some of the homeless encampments. If they're not to busy keeping the yoga gurus, retirees and soccer mom's in line!
That statement resonates across the country, micromanaging the wrong people, wat could go wrong. We all end up homeless.
Too*
I had to step over human excrement left by homeless, not once but twice, while walking the University Avenue sidewalk in Hillcrest this morning to get to my barber for a haircut and the city is focused on this? Vote this city council and mayor out this November 2024. We need people on our city council with proper priorities, not ones that are focused on letting our sidewalks become trash filled sewers full of open drug use and stopping upstanding sober community members from enjoying the public spaces in the name of selling permits.
pacific beach looks like a prison just opened its gate and emptied here. the most worthless, disgusting degenerates just sitting around waiting for their ebt card to cash.
yup
Vote out ALL Demonrats this country needs to make a statement to that party. Stop Killing America liberal rats.
Only 2 times? Ive had to walk over piss and crap thousands of times.
@@Lobonova that was only that two block walk on that one day. Yesterday it was another four times on fifth Avenue in Hillcrest, after being screamed at for simply walking the sidewalk and followed by a naked from the waist down crazy homeless woman on fourth Avenue. This city was once safe, clean and beautiful back when the police were allowed to enforce rules and laws. I recently at Walgreens and watched a man who appeared to be homeless start stuffing merchandise into a duffel bag right in front of me. I immediately walked up to a store employee and told him and he replied thank you for informing me, then just let him walk out of the store with the full duffel bag and said there isn’t anything they can do and police will not respond any longer for simple shoplifting. Our mayor and city council have let this city just go to hell.
A high tax on beach yoga and an expensive permit should fix this...
Those Karens will be the FIRST to call the police when someone else breaks some stupid rule, but then wanna cry when rules apply to them too 😭
Maybe if they disguised themselves as homeless the police would leave them alone?
That’s ridiculous!!! I can’t believe the city is doing this!! What’s wrong with people?? and we should be voting on this!!

That's more of a California problem than a US one.
I was just their with my family and in broad daylight I had a couple groups of young people smoking crack right on the sidewalk..further up the road on our way to see the aircraft carrier there was another group smoking meth or crack on a park bench on the path.I was blown away and we decided we will never come back as it’s to dangerous.
Yet, you describe yourselves as 'free' people.
I don't believe.. you guys know.. what freedom means.
We are not free here anymore.
anyone with half a brain (and that eliminates the maga(T)s, knows freedom in u.s. is just an illusion. As is property ownership. your HOA owns your property, your Bank owns your property, the tax collector owns your property. You do not own your property.
thinkin you're "free" in the us. is DUM
Depends on where you live not all of America is like this
This is like a dumpster in your backyard. Not everything is a dump. Just the dumpster in backyard.
Because uninformed people keep voting Democrat.
Another way of the city to make money. Ridiculous. Focus on the real issues please.

Our city requires us to license cats; Even if the cats never go outdoors. Glad the veterinarian doesn’t yet have to verify that when I make an appointment.
"An activity with more than 4 people requires a permit."
The Constitution says we have the right to peaceably assemble.
The law is unconstitutional if the government is placing arbitrary conditions on when you may assemble.
What is wrong with the leaders in California? Absolutely bizarre.
It's called taxation of the low hanging fruit. It's not about laws or public safety, it's about generating income for the city. All cities in CA have figured this out and are employing it, and you can thank your City Managers, City Attorney's, and the Mayors and City Council Members that you keep voting in. These folks have figured out that if you tax people with money (parking tickets as a thankyou for shopping downtown, permit requirements for everything, things stacked onto building permits, etc.) you can keep giving yourselves those sweet salaries and benefit packages, keep getting raises, and most importantly, pay for the 3 other people who've taken early retirement from every position, that you now have to fund for the next 50yrs each. Meanwhile, crime, drug-zombie encampments, bold thefts from all manner of stores, take over of campuses by terrorists, goes on, and on and on, untouched. But show up for a yoga class, or get caught walking your well behaved dog off-leash, and it's a swat team call out, and the crime of the century.
Thats how Philadelphia worked when i lived there. Crime was everywhere, but a FLEET of parking enforcers were just waiting for your meter to run out or if you parked in a wrong spot got even a minute. Tickets to all law abiding citizens and tourists- a huge income stream.
@@dreamsofturtles1828 100% what's happened here. We're a heavily touristed, small city, and have a renowned university. When this "taxation of low hanging fruit" started here about 20yrs ago, we jumped from $8 hand written parking tickets, to a literally fleet of both plain clothed, and specialty "meter-maid" vehicles traveling the downtown loop like a swarm. Tickets jumped to $54, and then all the meters were replaced with electronic meters with blinking red lights, and now those have been replaced with kiosks in random places, and I have no idea how those keep track of where a person is parked, or their time... but here we are. Meanwhile all manner of drug zombie behavior in that downtown touristed core, 24hrs a day, and them living in our "protected" creeks in tent cities, and they are free to do so.
Unbelievable. Twilight Zone is the norm anymore.
😳😂😂, might be an idea to sort the borders out first!,, and I thought the politicians and councillors in Britain were pathetic and spineless must be a job requirement worldwide,🤷🏻♂️
So nice to see that the city does not have more serious issues to deal with...
How does the city feel about sidewalk defecation? Asking for a friend.
Love it
We the people of San Diego need to put our government back in place , freedom is most precious to San Diegoen’s, we don’t need our government telling us what we can and cannot do on any given day. This tyrannical government needs to be removed,as it does not support the people!
you're one of the people? Cool.
Im sure the methheads and illegals will help.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't California have outdoor gyms?
They are not preventing people from doing yoga on the beach, only businesses conducting classes.
These yoga instructors claim that their classes are “free” /donation-based, but their cards often say “recommended donations “ of $10+ so they are actually collecting a fair amount as unreported income. They are not non-profits.
Nonprofit is just a tax-filing status; it doesn’t mean they aren’t in it for the money.
so what? it's harmless. it's healthy. those classes are early, before the sunbathers arrive.
short sighted & silly.
Thank God! I was setting up my illegal hot dog cart while pooping on the sidewalk and was horrified to see this on the beach
Democrats focusing on what's important.....
Meanwhile crime and drugs are everywhere.
This isn't a Democrat vs Republican issue. If you're that worried about political parties and drug use, why don't you advocate go get Don Jr into treatment and off the cocaine. He is off the rails.!!!
@kathleenmartin7498 dems run california with an iron fist and implement the policies that are destroying the state..how is it not a political issue?
You misspelled Hunter 😂😂😂😂 🤡🤡🤡@@kathleenmartin7498
They just need to call it a peaceful yoga protest and they can gather anytime they want
Keep your permits and regulations. This is why I moved overseas. America is the land of the overtaxed and unfree.
It definitely is no longer free. People care more about themselves than each other. So sad.
We just flew into San Diego airport for our vacation in Carlsbad. There are migrants living in the airport, it’s dirty, and everywhere seems to have a homeless problem. The price of food & gas in CA is totally nuts. Much like the priorities of the reigning political party. I lived in southern CA over 20 years ago but it’s not like it used to be. Shame really because it is a beautiful place.
Oh no oh dear Lord were coming down from Alaska & we stay on PB right by Crystal Pier. Its a condo. I hope there keeping it somewhat illegals EVERYWHERE? I wish i knew someone down there to tell the truth about it all. Hard to charge $400+ a night for trashed ENVIRONMENT
An activity with more than 4 people? So what? No parties?
I think they said a business activity
Nope not if your charging people!
The city claims Yoga classes are a 'business', but that's a 'stretch'.
I’m in Vietnam and anyone can operate a food cart on the side of the road
And I never see homeless people or drug addicts lying on the sidewalk
And there’s no Walmart or big box stores that have a monopoly on business
Democrats tackling the hard issues!!!!!
guess i can't take my family of 7 to the beach now without getting a permit
Are you running a business or do you just not comprehend the issue? 😂😂😂
It could be construed legally as a class, didn't we know!
And people still claim this is a free country
Peaceful people practicing wellness is prohibited. They need a government permission known as a permit, Thanks Big Brother 😡
These people are not bothering anyone. The city needs to focus on homelessness and drug use out on the streets of San Diego.. You cannot feel safe walking around with so many people with mental health issues and people under the influence of drugs. Politiians doing their best work😂
Yikes Yoga Swarms 😅
Someone on the city council just hates other people being on the beach.
Title is clickbait. They are regulating yoga classes; not yoga. Also, these are park rangers not police.

I agree. Public beach paid for by taxpayers, not to be used by private, for profit business.
As stated in the piece, They're NOT for profit. Optional donation only.

@@kendallevans4079I wonder if you complain about all of the smash and grabs going on in California. 😂
The beaches are there for the public to enjoy. They are not there to provide a space for businesses to be run.
CRY some more.
so no beach volley ball either? duh
They are free classes though, isn't that a viable way to enjoy the beach?
I believe you hit the nail on its head about this topic. It's a disruption of beach access, which is for the public. Personally I get annoyed whenever I visit the area and see them operating their yoga classes/business. They take up public space, the minimal parking available and most importantly prevents locals and outside visitors from visiting the site. As a local fisherman, you either comply with the local regulations or not bother at all. Just my input on this.
You can’t just hoard space without a permit. Look at those that rent surfboards and bikes, teach surf lessons, sell food, etc…they all have licenses and permits. Can’t just post up in a public space and run your “non profit” businesses. Ooof
The idea that you need liability insurance before you give free instruction is incredible. What if you show someone interested how to windsurf or kayak? US is a very inhibited unfree society. Try NZ, Philippines, even UK ( when I was then in 70s anyway).
This reminds me of when during Covid lockdowns cops were arresting or harassing individuals running down the beach or going swimming even when no one else was around.
Dog walkers, you better watch out as you might be next. I absolutely get the vendors and the people setting up for profit luxury picnics, but yoga classes that only last an hour and benefit the mental health of the community, seriously??? Huge eye roll!
It's not just ONE yoga class though. There's classes constantly and it's turned into an outdoor gym, takes up parking, and why do people have to hear a yoga instruction class going on while they're trying to just relax at a beach? This is why things get regulated with permits cause if you don't its overcrowding
@@jameskemp8287I agree. I practice yoga myself, but going to an outdoor space like a beach and having to listen to a yoga class going on next to me would be very annoying. If they can do it in silence, and keep the crowd down to about 4-5 people, it would probably be fine. I’d rather the city enforce the groups into silence rather than insisting they pay for a permit.
Love how upset everyone is getting about people forbidden running their businesses for free on public property- most businesses need a brick and mortar, have to buy or rent a space, pay utilities and insurance!
*While they mentioned most classes are ‘free’ but allow tipping- if there was NO exchange of money those classes would stop real fast.
They really know how to fight crime in California!!! 🤡🤡🤡
Priorities! Hello!
What if multiple people just happen to be doing yoga on the beach at the same time? How far apart do people need to be need in order to not be considered a group. Families of over four people better split into two groups if they think they are going to have a joint activity on the beach.
Authorities should have enforced on homelessness, with the same vigor, years ago. But no. The yoga lady is a problem.
How dare they use public property for a wholesome activity.
how dare they break the law after kicking out the brown people doing the same. 😂
@@ACECEE-gc2pu I'm okay with that
How dare they run a “non profit” business on public property without proper licensing and permits. 😂😂😂
Nobody is stopped from actually doing yoga, just holding classes and pocketing fees.
What problem is the ordinance trying to solve? I don't understand.
Yeah surf classes need permits, it's always been like that
You need A "permit " to teach someone how to do something now?
North Korea probably doesn't require a permit for beach yoga but Commiefornia does?
Why’d I have to scroll so far down to find this sensible comment?
@@magesalmanac6424 maybe because it's not a sensible comment. People should be able to do whatever they want to on the beach as long as they are not breaking "normal" laws like theft, assault, indecent exposure, dogs running loose, etc
Nobody's "enjoyment of the beach" is being infringed by women stretching.
The only people complaining are the jealous overweight women and the gay dudes. NOBODY else cares .
@@magesalmanac6424 because it's not a sensible comment. Do families larger than 4 have to get a permit for beach yoga also?
@@charlesritter6640 You're just the type of person that would go to this spot and be angry that you can't enjoy it without all the yoga classes taking up the space and having to listen to the yoga instructor. You can't imagine how annoying it is to go somewhere that is for all to enjoy to see that you are unwittingly inside a gym with fitness classes. It's not an outdoor gym it's a public beach and it needs to stay that way and how they keep it that way is by regulating it with permits.. otherwise it gets quickly overrun.
All right! Getting tough on sidewalk vending and permits! Now you need a permit to freely assemble!
Hey yoga people - how about recalling Newsom now?
Heck, in Arizona I see so many vendors with children working alongside them at intersections, at the sides of the road and the pre teen age kiddos even driving pick up trucks with scrap, In the hot sun, hawking water and gatorade or flowers during school hours...
In a statement, a spokesperson for the city told ABC 10News an activity with more than four people requires a permit.
"The City of San Diego’s Municipal Code prohibits groups consisting of four or more people engaged in commercial recreational activities like yoga, fitness classes and dog training from gathering in parks without a permit and can only operate in certain designated areas. Picnics and other gatherings of 50 or more also require a permit in parks, beaches and bay. The applicable municipal code (SDMC 63.0102) has been in effect since 1993, and recent updates to the policy have clarified the activities for which necessary permitting applies. These updates went into effect March 29 and are in place to ensure these public spaces remain safe and accessible to all users at all times. Park Rangers, police and lifeguards have the authority to enforce these codes to ensure public safety in San Diego’s parks and beaches."
They're not probibiting yoga on the beach, but the use of the beach for a commercial business purpose. People running a business are using public space for their own business means and the city has every right to crack down on that as you cannot use public space for your own business as it takes away from the public's access. If all yoga instructors abandon the use of a traditional brick and mortar spot and utilize the beach for their business, then it means less space for others who use the beach for its intended recreational use. It's the same concept with event planners that were using the beach for commercial use at the expense of the public that started to find itself crowded out. Get a business space if you want to do this and if you haven't the money to lease a space then figure out some other get rich fast scheme.
Video mentions the classes are offered for free.
@@BexBurtoneven if free, if the activity is gathering more than 4 people you have to have a permit as you're blocking access from others. EDIT:AND the organizers admit to asking for donations on their yoga service so that is actually masquerading as a charge and therefore they are running a business using public space for private enterprise.
You speak truth, thank you for this perspective.
Don't any of you baptize people in groups!
@@yaiburanakul8505 isn't that exactly the point? If we allow groups to do this, then why not "free" church sermons on the beach as long as "donations" are submitted? Why not cross-fit classes with 50 people that block off a section of the beach/park otherwise intended for public use? I'm sure those instructors ask for "donations."Just because yoga maybe a popular pastime for some doesn't mean we should look the other way when these classes are blocking off public space for private use. If it were any other activity, Yoginis would have a different outlook. People are just injecting their own personal bias because yoga is their pastime.
What a bunch of B.S.
Unlike California, in Oregon ALL BEACHES ARE PUBLIC. No one has any exclusive rights over someone else. All are welcome. Kicking anyone off the beach for any reason is simply a violation of sovereign rights. Are we in N. Korea? Say what??? You can’t exercise on the beach! WTFun!!
Isn't this about charging fees, running classes as a business?
So if you're a family of FIVE, you need a permit???
Beaches are public property, not spaces for private enterprise.
Yes. Same thing is happening here with people renting kayaks at public boat ramps without a permit - they have finally cracked down. You don't get to use public resources to make money, even if it's supposedly "donations".
Such a “DEMOCRACY “ we enjoy…🥵
“Donations”… lady, I know what that means, and it pisses me off.!! You are paid to do it, just admit it and pay taxes!! Better yet, pay for the permit and be quiet!!
Pretty soon, in California, we won’t even be able to pick her nose in public public without being cited or thrown in jail.
As Far as I Know It's Legal to Take a Dump 💩💩💩 on the Streets of San Francisco.
😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can’t just hoard space without a permit. Look at those that rent surfboards and bikes, teach surf lessons, sell food, etc…they all have licenses and permits. Can’t just post up in a public space and run your “non profit” businesses. 😂😂😂
How do you "Hoard space " on a BEACH!
Have you ever been to one? It's not like our beaches are packed with people, this isn't Rio de Janeiro.
The problem is that certain people who are problematic get a pass. It wouldn’t be a thing if laws were enforced equally.
These yoga instructors claim that their classes are “free” /donation-based, but their cards often say “recommended donations “ of $10+ so they are actually collecting a fair amount as unreported income. They are not non-profits.
I am soooo glad I don't live in such an environment! Golly gee whiz!
@@calimon00 its also the chlothes have you ever been just walking along not a care then you see like dozen or more just stop then act like you are someone who wants to stare like this a park, beach, lake the only ones mad are those who want to stare imagine when they figure that out
Good to hear the city is finally cleaning things up. This has been a major problem.
Activity with more then 4 people requires a permit!?!? Ouch that is rough.
WHAT KIND OF FREE COUNTRY IS THIS ??????????
Good....those yogurts give off negative energy
"We dont understand why we cant use public property for our own business" 1) donations are payment and $ they receive in that manner isnt taxed. 2) For the same reason hot dog vendors cant run their businesses using public property is why these yuppies cannot also do the same. 3)"We thought the rules we tried to sidestep didnt apply to us, just poor people."
Ladies, spend your influencer money and vote out insane costs of living/ business leases, and rent!
Thank you! I can’t believe how many people are crying about lack of freedom blah blah- if there was NO exchange of money these classes wouldn’t exist, plain and simple.
