We discussed how yoga teachers can get better over time, the importance of sustainability, how some corporates parasitically exploit yogaland, the need to break taboos around speaking about money in yoga, how yoga teachers can benefit from mentoring, why yoga teachers as workers in the gig economy can be better supported by coming together as a collective voice (this could be also called a union).
For those teachers interested in being part of this collective, to get involved please email [email protected] for more information.
