As a result of my recent encounter with a government agency endeavoring to change the status of yoga instructors to employees rather than independent contractors, I sent out an 'all call' to area yoga studio owners.
I've invited owners (or their representatives) to a get-together this afternoon to discuss what our experiences have been and how best to proceed, so that we each have a positive outcome.
It will be interesting to watch the dynamics of this diverse group of studio owners/representatives. We all practice our different styles of yoga, we all have our own business success in mind, and this is the first time many of us have been in a meeting together.
Questions for the group: have they received similar correspondence? what will be the financial impact? should we band together to address this issue - politically and legally?
What will come of this? Not sure, but I do know it might open the door for future get-togethers that offer us opportunities to grow and learn from each other; get-togethers that aren't 'crisis-driven'.
What is this? the fun side of studio ownership. Actually, it is fun -- a bit different challenge.
Teaching my Gentle Yoga group this morning -- got some good ideas for hip openers that I'm thinking of introducing to them. Class plans, tho, are always impacted by who shows up for this class.
Have a good day,
