| 0:00.0 | Despite the popularity of yoga with tens of millions of people doing yoga all around the world |
| 0:05.2 | the business of yoga the teaching of yoga is still very much in its infancy and even though yoga has become a huge business, let's call it a $29 billion business, hard to believe, but it's true, |
| 0:18.0 | yoga teachers are almost nowhere to be found in that scenario. What I mean is, if you look at the people who own the big yoga |
| 0:25.4 | brands, the clothing, the training courses, whatever it is, there's almost no yoga teachers |
| 0:30.3 | to be found. For me, as a quint quintessential yoga bum I think that's kind of |
| 0:34.1 | unacceptable. I've been fortunate enough to to experience quite a bit of success as a |
| 0:38.6 | yoga teacher and yoga entrepreneur and I've set up a new teacher training school. |
| 0:44.0 | It's called the Yoga Teachers College. |

| 1:23.8 | program a lot of it is home study. We have immersion courses that happen in our |
| 1:27.6 | real working studios here in Barcelona. So all of your experience is practical, |
| 1:31.6 | hands-on, getting up in front of students, there's really nothing like it. |
| 1:35.0 | You'll also be assigned a teaching mentor who will work directly one-on-one with you throughout the duration of the course. |
| 1:41.0 | My team and I are gearing up for this. We are staffing up, we're producing new |
