We aim to provide a sustainable livelihood for yoga and movement professionals while raising industry standards on quality, diversity, anti-racism, and accessibility. We offer students an online space to explore movement, build community, and connect to the power of self-acceptance and transformation.<\/p>\n\t<h3>How we&#8217;re changing the industry and building impact:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>We resist the racist cultural appropriation of yoga<\/strong> by centering BIPOC and are guided by the eight limbs and the philosophical teachings of the practice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We increase accessibility<\/strong> by carefully considering our language, pricing, education, offerings and tech choices through an antiracist and anticapitalist lens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We advocate for fair labor practices<\/strong> and believe that workers building a business deserve to be fairly compensated and own what they are creating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We believe every worker deserves a voice.<\/strong> Our business is led by a democratically elected Steward&#8217;s Council, ensuring that everyone has a say and power.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We build our community through mutual respect and transparency.<\/strong> 85% of class earnings at The Connective go straight to the teacher. 15% is invested into our shared business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h3>Why we offer multiple modalities of movement:<\/h3>\n<p>We acknowledge that the type of movement each of us might need on any given day, and throughout our lives, changes.<\/p>\n<p>We understand that varying our movement intake to include a variety of activities can offer us great benefits&#8211;physically, mentally and emotionally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honoring yoga is respecting that yoga is more than asana,<\/strong> the physical poses. It is a spiritual practice not meant to exist as your sole mode of movement.<\/p>\n\t<h6>Read our community agreements for students, statements on cultural appropriation, and statements on structural change and anti-racism.<\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theconnectivecoop.com\/community-agreement\/\">LEARN MORE<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theconnectivecoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Brianna-DiGioia-DSC_6181-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Brianna DiGioia - DSC_6181\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1974\" width=\"2560\" title=\"Brianna DiGioia - DSC_6181\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Mission: The Connective is a teacher owned and led cooperative powered by community.
