Why We’re Not Participating in ClassPass Teacher Awards ✨
We’ve received a few questions about why our studio and teachers aren’t taking part in the ClassPass Teacher Awards this year, so we wanted to share our heart behind this decision.
While we always appreciate the love, support, and recognition our community shows, yoga is not and has never been about competition or comparison.
Creating a hierarchy of “best” teachers, studios, or classes can unintentionally feed the very mindset yoga invites us to soften: striving, measuring ourselves against others, and seeking external validation.
Our intention as a studio is to cultivate a space where everyone, teachers and students alike, can show up authentically, without pressure to perform or compete.
An award system built around voting and ranking simply doesn’t align with that intention. It feels, to us, like the opposite of what yoga teaches: community over competition, presence over performance, connection over comparison.
We’re endlessly grateful for every teacher who pours their heart into this practice and for every student who steps onto their mat with courage and curiosity. That is what we choose to honor.
Thank you for understanding, and thank you for being part of this community rooted in compassion, humility, and practice. 💛
