Colibre School for Yoga Educators

 

"conceding that the state has the right to demand that we obtain one is a deadly error. Submitting to vocational licensing would permit state regulators to assert control over every aspect of our industry, including mandatory licensing for teacher trainers, as well as for teachers themselves"    July 4, 2009 Leslie Kaminoff and IYEA

 

 

Welcome!

The Independent Yoga Educators of America is officially born on July 4th, 2009.

 

I have launched this initiative after many years of talking, writing and advocating for the freedom of my chosen profession: Yoga Educator.

 

This profession has come under attack by state regulators who wish to license the training of yoga teachers via existing vocational licensing laws. I have written an extensive article exploring these issues, which I am posting here, and also on our new website, http://iyea.us
