Wow so today I learned that egregious labor violations are utterly widespread throughout the yoga industry

A friend was describing how they "volunteer" at their local yoga studio in exchange for free classes by working 4 hour shifts at the cash register... of a for profit company... where they report to a manager... and whose owner takes regular expensive vacations and lives in a beautiful, spacious home...

Upon further research I found out that this happens at MOST OF THEM

The "manager" as far as I can tell is the only paid employee aside from the owners, the instructors are contractors whose own labor conditions are... not good

@drewdevault i think there’s some overlap with MLM stuff too, like they may also be incentivized to recruit their students to become the next wave of instructors
