Today on the show, I speak with Dr. Krista Kuberry and Catherine Marquette of Yoga Alliance. My intention with this interview is to ask the questions that you, Yoga Alliance’s international members, especially here in Australia, wanted me to ask. I reached out to my own community in the teachers club, and created polls and posts on my Instagram and social media. The responses that I got back reflected a feeling of frustration and confusion with Yoga Alliance in general, and specifically with their international support. However, in preparing for this interview, I became aware that YA is aware of their “reputation concerns” and desire for more support from the community - and are taking multiple steps to address both. In this interview, we get into questions, within the scope of international support, that hopefully help you make a more informed decision about your membership with YA (if you have one) - and how to reach out for more support if you need it.We didn’t have time to cover some other really important, and relevant topics like how Yoga Alliance is / will handle accounts of sexual assault with the community (hopefully that conversation can happen soon too) - or questions around larger problems within the yoga industry like exploitation of teachers.However, in this interview we do cover:PODCAST HIGHLIGHTSThe original purpose of Yoga AllianceThe development of the YA RYS standards, and their new updated RYS standardsHow the new, more rigorous application process may serve as one tool for ensuring that the standards are upheldThe role of social accountability - that companies like AirBnB or Uber use as one possible, yet currently problematic part of the solution to the questions of enforcing the new RYS standardsThe role that online learning may take in YTT’s in the futureThe Yoga Alliance Foundation International Emergency Relief fund - which at the time of this release will be live and accepting applicationsYoga Alliance’s position and current plans for partnering with international professional insurance companies as a member benefitNew provisions for international continuing education with multiple time zones &amp; non-live CE credits FIND YOGA ALLIANCEYoga Alliance InstagramYoga Alliance WebsiteYoga Alliance Covid-19 Microsite FIND CORACora’s InstagramCora’s NewsletterThe Teachers ClubFor links &amp; resources mentioned in this episode go to www.corageroux.com/podcastepisodes/episode26Support the show
