The New York Post's gossip column, Page Six, rats on Rodney Yee's July 4th class in the Hamptons, which was held outside without a permit.
"July 4, 2007 -- HAMPTONITES looking to Zen-out with yoga master Rodney Yee before the holiday crush got a rude awakening yesterday. The Post's Thomas Hinton reports too many people showed up for Yee's class in his Sag Harbor studio, so he and his modelicious wife, Colleen, decided to teach a larger class in the Marine Park by the harbor. But the Yees didn't realize they needed a permit. As the class started, cops descended and threatened to arrest the couple, but were talked down and the group was allowed to disband without a violation being issued."
