Ava Taylor, the founder of YAMA here, thank you sleuthing to find out more information about YAMA and for being the first to get it out. I'm writing in to provide a little more clarity for your readers, please have a look! At YAMA, we have one major goal, which is to spread the practice of yoga by helping teachers do what they do best: teach. Like other artists, athletes and scholars, we believe that yoga teachers should have freedom to focus on their craft, to practice, study and innovate. We accomplish our goal by easing the burden of the business side of being a yoga teacher, from finding teaching opportunities to getting the word out about our clients’ workshops and classes. Ultimately, we believe this is good for our teachers, good for their students, and good for the continued growth of the yoga community. Stay tuned for an official list of YAMA clients and our public launch! I look forward to meeting you. See you in class, Ava Hello Elephantbeans!

I think the trick is to find a happy medium - where yogis get paid, but don't abuse it beyond the beliefs/ethics and boundaries they set before they go 'hollywood.'

I know this is true, but... Still... It's depressing to think about yoga as a "business" and to think of yoga instructors heading to agencies, for pete's sake, so they can "market" themselves better. Interesting post---thanks for sharing! :) “Some may think this is a way that yogis are selling out, but if yoga is your career and you are not so business-savvy, it really is in your best interest to find someone who can network and market your talents for you.”
