Question How do I pick a training & get a yoga teaching job? Is accreditation and alliance affiliation important? Answer This is a great question. The short answer is, if you want to work 1) Be great at what you do, and keep improving 2) Put yourself where you can help people. If you're great, helpful, and in the right place, there's work for you. Details First, if you have a favorite yoga studio, you want to lead classes there, and they have a training . . . you should take their training!

Question Hello! I just have a question about inversions. I've been practicing yoga for about 7 years now (I love Tara Stiles' and Heidi's videos!) and have been teaching flow yoga for a year. I enjoy challenging myself and moving with the breath, but am having a hard time with inversions. I've always struggled with handstand and headstand.

Hi Friends, Hope you are having a great day so far! If you practice yoga, or have even heard of yoga for that matter, there is a good chance you have heard of Bikram, and there is a good chance you have a strong opinion about him and his yoga. 26 poses, hot as (the opposite of heaven) dank carpeted mirrored room, 90 minutes of drill sargen commands, and buckets of sweat. I took a Bikram class once in LA over 10 years ago. I was drawn in by the huge advertisement on the side of his building "YOGA" in…

Hi Friends, Happy New Year! I'm writing this from our downtown apartment serenaded by some guy selling blow horns to celebrate 2013. He's been tooting his own horn for several hours now outside our kitchen window. Hopefully he's sold a few to some excited New Year celebrators. We'll be headed over to Strala in a bit to celebrate in our own way, our tradition since 2011, ring in the new year with 2 hours of Strala STRONG & RELAX, a good ol combo we jokingly call STRALAX. Creating space for the new year by practicing with 80 of the Strala…
