If ever there was a time the world needed yoga, it�s now. It feels heavily ironic, then, that avid yogis had their go-to classes cancelled overnight. But thanks to internet, which has enabled yoga teachers to continue to reach their clients, and to tap into larger audiences too.

As this pandemic continues to prove, good things can be born out of bad. One yoga teacher, told me that shortly after Covid hit, she found herself �ready to be creative again�, and needed to �have a reinvention moment.� In other words � this unprecedented turn of events has been a sort of positive force for many, giving them the gumption needed to get imaginative with their offering, and even to improve it.

Hi jclone,

I've wondered about this as well. I can definitely see how some positive changes could be spurred by the constraints of the pandemic. My local studio has started offering livestreamed versions of their classes in parallel to their in-person classes (they're currently open as of writing this). Perhaps they are reaching a wider community this way, and I hope it goes well for them and the community in general. The world definitely needs its yoga teachers more than ever.
