The reason for the ban: "Yoga promotes non-Christian belief systems"

How did the bill last ten years to begin with? I thought the first amendment made a separation of church and state, meaning no ban on non-christian beliefs could be passed to begin with.

What's even more surprising is how something that involves very little movement is promoted as "exercise".
