First off I would like to say how much I love this podcast. I always enjoy Kathryn’s thoughtful and yes “intelligent” approach to every topic. She consistently includes excellent research and references and invites very knowledgable guest speakers to the discussions.
The most recent podcast on Regulating Yoga and Yoga Alliance was very enjoyable. I very much appreciated the panel of Canadian yoga teachers and trainers. As a Canadian yoga teacher myself(since 2007) I share many of the same thoughts, comments and prospectives expressed by panel members. I have said many times over the years, there are “No Yoga Police”! But sadly sometimes it is perceived out there in “Yogaland” that Yoga Alliance is just that. Obviously they are not. I also agree that since COVID there is no going back to the old way of doing business and Yoga Alliance is even more irrelevant than it was before (personal opinion). I am a member of Canadian Yoga Alliance and have my Children’s Yoga School registered with them. I figure if I am going to give my money to someone just so I can include their logo on my YTT certificates, to garner some kind of heightened credibility, it might as well be a Canadian organization.
Anyway, love your show and all the work you do. Thank you!
