Yoga Alliance COVID-19 Bulletin
April 6, 2020
Dear Yoga Alliance Schools and Teachers,
This week, we have another strong line-up of workshops and guest speakers to inform and educate you on a variety of topics – including a breakdown of the recent U.S. CARES Act, a deep dive into your questions on insurance, a revealing discussion about research on yoga and anxiety, and several other workshops to enhance your professional wellbeing.
Please let us know what else will help you during these uncertain times. Reach out to us with feedback, questions, or concerns at 1-888-921-9642 (YOGA) or at info@yogaalliance.org.
Thank you for the work that you do for your communities—always, and especially now in these difficult times.
