My "home gym" for the last 4 years has been in Playa del Carmen. @impetusfitnesss welcome’d me and my family in as a part of their family-- so patient with me as I learn gym Spanish. @jaimescandont is a great coach, and his skills as a coach are just 👨‍🍳💋-- they're growing faster than my Spanish, too 🙈. Anyway, I just wanted to share a little about what my support system looks like. Gratitude. Global love, y'all.

Mi “gimnasio en casa” durante los últimos 4 años ha estado en Playa del Carmen. @impetusfitnesss nos dio la bienvenida a mí y a mi familia como parte de su familia, muy pacientes conmigo mientras aprendo español de gimnasio. @jaimescandont es un gran entrenador, y sus habilidades como entrenador son simplemente 👨‍🍳💋; también están creciendo más rápido que mi español 🙈. De todos modos, solo quería compartir un poco sobre cómo es mi sistema de apoyo. Gratitud. Amor global, amigos.

In memory of Paramaguru Sharath Jois.

I had the privilege of practicing with Sharath in Mysore over several years, an experience that shaped me profoundly, both as a person and as a practitioner. Under his guidance, I earned my authorization to teach Ashtanga Yoga, an accreditation that has meant a great deal to me. Sharath was dedicated to continuing the practice of Ashtanga yoga in the Mysore style, and his teaching held space for a wide spectrum of practitioners, allowing us to experience both the discipline and the subtleties of this system of yoga. He was also quite funny.

As I reflect on his passing, I feel a deep gratitude for the time I had with him and a quiet, profound sadness at the close of a chapter in our community. Sharath’s role as a teacher was unique, and his influence will continue to ripple through the practice of those he taught directly and indirectly.

It never occurred to me that I would not be able to practice with him again. I learned so much from him, not only about Ashtanga, but about boundaries, humility, and support. His presence will be missed, but his teachings remain.

For those of us in this lineage, this is a time to connect with one another and reflect on what the practice has given us. It’s an opportunity to carry forward what Sharath imparted without placing anyone on a pedestal, simply honoring the legacy of a teacher who dedicated himself to sharing Ashtanga with the world.

For what I long felt was an imaginary nectar, i realize now that my framework was too limited. Bindu's mysteries go beyond just yogic texts. sSome go as far as linking it to cosmic consciousness: in Vedanta, the power of Shiva and Shakti in Kashmir Shaivism, and the union of consciousness in Kundalini Yoga.

I had heard tell of its depiction as 'ojas' in Ayurveda and as spheres of light in Tibetan Buddhism (though the word is different).

This video is a journey into understanding the interconnectedness and intangible essence that enrich our yoga practice and daily lives.

Thanks @suenodevida_ecu

Sharing a gem that reminds me of @johnschumacheryoga — his audio workshops on iHanuman were my every day classes for a long time when I was first learning to home practice with structure (a time before ashtanga!).

I had memorized all of my teachers faves, and so of course she encouraged me to take his workshops. I was making less than 30k in DC in 2008, ya know? I couldnt really afford it, so I saved. And those recordings helped reach me where I was. When I finally got to the workshop, John complimented “an intelligent lift in the side chest”— to see the pride in my teachers eyes in that moment… I’ll never forget.

I was nervous and i learned so much about boundary setting as a teacher by using some of the moments from the workshop as reflection points— like when he told me i didn’t need to thank him for his instruction as he was instructing. Looking back, it gives me a kind of second hand embarrassment and also the warmest smile

I dont think ive ever bad chance to thank him publicly. His good name opened doors for me with teachers that I admire and respect— simply by being a student of one of his students.

Thanks for making sure your teachings could reach those with a sincere interest in learning. Hope to pay the same forward.

thinking about progress

I live in a city where the right to assemble is protected and honored, and I don’t take that right for granted. Little me would be proud to see how deeply this right has become a part of who I am—a person who not only values the power of gathering together but works to make it possible for others. There’s something inspiring about watching democracy in action, even when it’s messy, even when dissonant voices clash. It reminds me that the power to create change, even amid disagreement, is worth celebrating and protecting

To the younger me, who felt that spark of injustice but didn’t know what to do with it, my journey now is proof of what persistence can achieve. It shows that activism isn’t just a phase or a moment of outrage—it’s a lifelong commitment to staying active, to doing the work, to choosing to be part of the solution. It’s not just about being present when it’s easy or when the crowds are large. It’s about being present every day, in all the small actions that add up to meaningful change.

Raw thoughts on the yoga ecosystem— or the yoga industrial complex, depending on how you frame it. Unfiltered. Unedited. This is how I wrote my book, talking, sharing. Dictation.

thinking of my teacher and my wonderful commmnity

At the start of 2022, I almost quit teaching full time. I was devastated. I had made the 30k from my online TTC last 1.5 year, and I went through a large chunk of my savings. As an employee for only one organization, I was cheated by the PPP fiasco. I had other studios use me to scam more mokey out of the government- they got tens of thousands. I got $30, weekly.

The financial challenges that many yoga teachers face have been an enduring issue within the industry. For years, teachers have struggled to earn livable wages, often working long hours with little job security, no benefits, and limited opportunities for growth. The COVID-19 pandemic, which devastated the yoga industry and shuttered studios worldwide, exposed just how precarious this financial situation was. Many teachers were left without income, unprepared to weather such a crisis. It has become increasingly clear that financial equity for yoga teachers is not just a matter of fair wages—it’s about creating sustainable business models that can withstand future disruptions.

In my work, I have become passionate about addressing this issue, with the hope of helping yoga teachers learn how to create financial stability for themselves. As I’ve expressed before, “I want to help yoga teachers to learn how to create a business model that’s sustainable and learn how to save money so they can survive the next pandemic.” This is not just about surviving the current crisis but preparing teachers to thrive in a world where uncertainty is the norm.

After having traveled the world and received education from some of the most respected yoga teachers is in the world, having received almost the highest accreditation I can inside of my lineage— if I can’t make it, who can?

I want us to bring honor to our teachers and be if service to our communities— and it’s very hard to do that when you’re starving.

I’ve been saying this for a long time now, but in order to truly see the bigger picture, we must embrace systems thinking. Holistic change in the yoga isn’t about isolated fixes; it’s about viewing the entire community as an interconnected ecosystem. Every element within yoga, and i mean every—teachers, students, landlords, and the economy—is interconnected. Challenges like low wages, high rents, and the devaluing of vocational education aren’t isolated; they’re symptoms of larger, interconnected issues— systemic issues. As owners, operators and professioanls, we have a chance to innovate and strengthen the entire ecosystem by addressing root causes, creating multiple streams of value, and fostering deeper community engagement, Let’s move beyond fragmented fixes to lasting change.

Potpourri holder… hippopurri.

Meanwhile, back at the office.

@mikematspace just keeps evolving and wow this a blessing to get to be a part of.

The commodification of yoga doesn’t just dilute its spiritual and personal dimensions—it also leads to exploitative behaviors within studios. I’ve seen studio owners adopt practices that undermine both the integrity of yoga and the well-being of their teachers.

I’ve been lucky enough to watch my newsletter get unfollowed by two local studio owners, and I’ve had three other others reach out directly about how they can help change the dynamics inside of their studio.

Its telling who get offended. It tells me they aren’t accidentally ignorant, which means they’re purposefully malignant. Willful ignorance in this instance is malice.

This career doesn’t have to be a dead end, nor does it need ti be exploitative.

Yoga teachers, you have the power. Take it back.

Yoga studio owner/operators— is your rent too high to pay a livable wage? Feel trapped? Youre not the first one to end up in this position.

Question 1: are you practicing?

Feel free to reach out if want to chat.

If youre new here, some quick receipts: I was the director of operations for local six-location chain, ran a six figure yoga business as owner-operator, was a #board member for a yoga nonprofit, and my mysore program has been running for over 10 years consistently… aaaaand I have had the fortune to have more than five of my students go into business for themselves as studio owners, mysore teachers, and corporate wellness pros.

Like my daddy says “if doing the right thing was always profitable, everyone would do it. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be.”

This, friends, is where the rubber hits the pavement.

thank you @jochetroche — youre always so supportive ❤️

I feel seen.

The modern yoga industry has shifted away from teaching a practice that once ecnouraged and even required ongoing learning, self-reflection, and personal growth. Instead, the commercial interests have been prioritized over genuine education. This shift has left both students and teachers navigating a system that often exploits their desire to learn and grow. Nowhere is this tension more evident than in the yoga teacher training system, which, while serving as a lifeline for the industry, has become deeply flawed.

When I started practicing in 2002, there wasnt a yoga studio on every corner. Yoga hadn’t quite hit the granola standard yet (when its not just for hippies anymore). Practice in general was still counterculture, with lineage-based yoga studios having been established for a decade or two. It wasnt yet seen from a consumerist athleisure lens.
This was at a time when traditional yoga studios had begun to propagate naturally into smaller studios from their spry, allowing 30-something teachers to enter full time teaching, inside their own four walls. It was a time before the big boxes, the local chains, and venture capital from Wall Street. Yes, at one time, independent yoga studios were owned by people who had made exotic journeys and devoted insane amounts of time to their spiritual quests amd studies.

❤️❤️❤️ paul’s commitment to these eastern traditions inspires me… and has helped heal me over the years.

My first yoga business turns 15 years into, and we sis it without screwing over anyone, ever. Find another business that can say that.

It’s clear to me that the traditional models of running yoga studios are not working, at least not for the long haul. There’s got to be a way to preserve yoga’s core teachings while creating a sustainable career path for teachers. Maybe that means smaller, teacher-owned studios, or perhaps a guild or union that protects the rights of yoga professionals. We can’t keep ignoring the structural issues that exploit teachers and dilute the practice.

I know there’s no easy fix. But as practitioners and teachers, we have a responsibility to stay true to the heart of yoga, even if that means making hard choices in a world increasingly driven by profit. Yoga has always been about balance—balancing strength with flexibility, effort with ease. Maybe the same can be said for navigating the modern yoga industry—finding that middle path between commerce and authenticity.
