Yoga studios are shifting their policies—and it’s not just about stricter cancellation rules or rising class costs. Colorado’s crackdown on worker misclassification is forcing studios to reevaluate how they pay teachers, while students begin to feel the ripple effects in pricing and policies. As a teacher, student, and LLC owner, I share why these changes matter for everyone: why students should see cancellation policies as a way of supporting their teachers, why teachers must stop undervaluing their work, and how honoring the true ethics of yoga can transform our entire community.
