Calling all career yoga teachers! If you own a studio or plan to make a full-time career teaching yoga you do NOT want to miss this historic presentation. Learn how you can become part of a new movement in American Yoga that improves yoga education and your bank account.
For career yogis, sometimes the yoga world feels a little broken...
Yoga teachers don’t seem to make enough money, yoga studios are churning out YTTs just to make ends meet, and the general public has no idea how to find the right teacher for them in a sea of social media that elevates the bendy and beautiful.
The American Yoga Council(AYC)is a new movement in yoga and a web-app being launched at the Berkshire Yoga Festival with the mission of:
  • Re-Imagining Yoga Credentials: Competencies and mentorships are more important than checking boxes. We don’t need more yoga teachers, we need more excellent yoga teachers. Connecting students to teachers through competencies, NOT follower count. 
  • Sharing the Revenue: Serious yoga teachers and mentors have a retirement fund, and Yoga Schools get a recurring revenue asset
  • Creating the first vertical network for Yoga: Students can find the right yoga teacher for their needs. Teachers can show their skills, training, experience and lineage. 


AYC co-founder Andrew Tanner will sit down with podcaster and long time yoga teacher J. Brown for a presentation, interview and discussion about how we will re-shape the American Yoga landscape in the future.
