Last week, I linked to a NYT article about the spread of CorePower Yoga: how its business model is contingent upon enrolling thousands in expensive “teacher training” courses, even though there’s already a surfeit of teachers out there.
This rings even more true now than when it was written in 2019. I managed professiorial job searches at a major university, and we'd receive 100's of applications, mostly well-qualified, for ONE position.
I remember reading this one. Having spent most of my career in academia, being sucked in to the Market America "we are not an MLM" MLM and doing 200 hr yoga teacher training during a stretch of underemployment, I approve of this message. Being on the other side for 5+ years now where I'm happily employed in biotech, buying my household products from whatever business I choose, and finding a yoga studio that is not chasing IG followers and thousands of subscribers, I am much happier.
