A Conversation on Yoga Alliance & the Updated Standards with Shannon Roche

Mastering the Business of Yoga

This week on the podcast I am joined by Shannon Roche. Shannon is the new CEO of Yoga Alliance and she joins the show to talk about how Yoga Alliance is working to improve standards with the goal of providing more value to yoga teachers and yoga students.

Since Yoga Alliance released the news about their new standards for teacher trainings there has been some confusion and a lot of questions in the community, so I wanted to take this opportunity to ask your questions, as well as mine. Shannon and I talk about the changes coming down the pipe for Yoga Alliance, what we can expect from Yoga Alliance, what Yoga Alliance does for yoga teachers, how we can help uphold the standards in the yoga community, and more.

Enjoy!
