Re: “Thinking About a Career in Yoga?”
I just finished three years of advanced yoga studies at The Berkeley Yoga Room. I read the article twice and realized that I had learnt nothing whatsoever and moreover that it is a great example the non sequitur scare story. Ms. Horgos only evidence is "anecdotal evidence." My job search has revealed the opposite to be true: that there are lots of jobs in the Bay Area for yoga teachers.
I bet when Ms. Horgos started as a journalist, people told her how hard it was going to be for her to break into professional journalism? Americans love to remind one another how difficult it is to start a new career, business or realize an idea.
Let me make my point by asking a question of Ms. Horgos: Are there really careers or degree programs where one just waits around while the phone rings off the hook with unsolicited offers of employment?
Life is only as hard as you believe it is. This article is time well wasted. -Namaste
