​Description

​General Details

• ​Yoga has never been more visible. And yet the questions at the heart of teaching it — how to build a sustainable livelihood, how to stay true to the practice while running a business, how to navigate an industry that is simultaneously commodifying and evolving — have never been more complex.

  • ​This intimate fireside conversation brings together four senior yoga teachers and studio leaders for an unfiltered dialogue on what it actually means to build a life in yoga. They will speak to the evolution of the practice itself, the tension between accessibility and integrity, what it looks like to teach with devotion over decades, and where they believe yoga is going — and where they believe it must go.

​What to Expect

• ​This is not a panel. It is a conversation between people who have given their lives to this practice and are willing to be honest about what that has required, what it has given, and what they are still figuring out.

  • ​Come to listen. Leave with a deeper reverence for the practice and the people who carry it.
