TRAINING PARTNERS
Business & Entrepreneurship
The current yoga business model is broken. It’s a $29 billion industry owned primarily by opportunistic investors, not real yoga teachers, and the yoga teachers who created the market often end up struggling financially. This needs to change.
Our Story
Lucas Rockwood opened his first yoga studio in 2006 and was shocked to learn that only 2-3% of all certified teachers applying for work could actually teach a decent class. The problem? They were not bad applicants, they had simply attended very bad schools and were not qualified.
