A) We are workers with rights.
For years many of us had been manipulated into the identity of healers responding to a calling that bypassed our need for security and stability. Actually, both can exist — a deep sense of service AND fair pay and working conditions.
Fun throwback to when Bernie supported our Yogaworks NYC Union Campaign in 2019! 😊 We ❤️ you, @BernieSanders . Stay cozy, everyone!

Major congrats to @SolidcoreU on their victory in all coaches being now classified as employees rather than independent contractors! It’s a huge victory and came from their dedicated worker organizing. Yay congrats! #organize #workersunite

COVID is exploding. Reminder: you and your co-workers have the right to strike. Most protected strike of all is to avoid death or grievous injury.
Get support: @organizeworkers @iww @ueunion @AFLCIO @Change2Win @labornotes.
Bosses won’t protect you and your family needs you.
Meet us! “We are a collective of yoga teachers... we all want to see change in the #yoga and wellness industry. We are not professional organizers, but we believe that organizing is a path to collective change.” #UnionStrong
