Are you ready to talk about our profession?
Too often yoga “industry” folks just want to talk about the straight business of yoga.
How do we fill classes? How do we find our niche?
While these conversations are important, Working In Yoga wants to ask some deeper questions.
Why do we love teaching yoga?
What are our working conditions like?
Who is in our spaces?
How did COVID impact our industry?
Why do we all feel low-key guilty about making money while sharing yoga as a profession?
How can we evolve as an industry to co-create the future industry we all feel nourished and overjoyed to participate in?
Working In Yoga is a conversation. A conversation between colleagues, between friends. Between passionate practitioners ready to unpack the challenges of sharing a spiritual practice and discipline in a world that requires us to show up fully for our own nourishment, joy, and support (and that includes money).
Things will get complicated.
But unlike your family dinner table at the next holiday, we are going to embrace the difficult and the challenging. We will also embrace the unabashedly joyful, the fun, and the passionate. All in one continuous conversation.
We are proud of our profession. We know that yoga can help, can make a difference in people’s lives. There are 1000s of years of tradition and practice that support this. Yoga made a difference for me, if you are reading this it likely made a difference for you. But that doesn’t mean everything is all love and light. It means Yoga as a tradition is important enough for me to be willing to get messy.

We need community.
Community is a heavy word nowadays. Every virtual space where yoga professionals hang out seems to be fraught with drama, divisiveness, and the general agreement that all hard conversations will either get nasty or get bypassed. What if we created something different? A space off of social media that allowed yoga professionals to come, connect, ask questions, and find true mentorship and guidance.
Working In Yoga is providing such a space. When you support us you are enrolled in our virtual community. Not only do you get behind-the-scenes footage of our podcast guests, but also access to our private virtual community.
This community isn’t for you to ask how to sequence your next yoga class. It is for you to vision the career and future you want, to deconstruct the yoga industry, and talk about hard topics like cultural appropriation, industry integrity, and what leadership means for us.
So many of us are hungry to connect and dissect, disseminate, and deconstruct in a meaningful way. When we try to do that we are met with professional critics, naysayers, and spiritual bypassers.
Support Working In Yoga and let’s try something different.
