Men & Yoga - Stretchtopia
"In the Western commercialization of yoga, it is being sold as a feminine practice, one that will make you slender and long, while our society teaches men to build muscle and get big. That might be helpful for selling a few more yoga mats to a particular population of women, but the image they’re selling of yoga is not based in reality."

Why aren't more men taking up Yoga? Here are a few thoughts on how we can overcome these barriers so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of practice.

Welcome to Stretchtopia! We are the go-to legal resource for yoga teachers everywhere. While we are based in California, we have resources that can be used by teachers across the country. With the use of our articles and templates, we will help you create a thriving and profitable yoga business.
Whether you have your own yoga studio or you freelance as an instructor at different studios, you have a business to run. This means that you are tasked with tracking your finances, marketing, paying taxes, following guidelines for hiring employees, and figuring out how to limit your liability. Running any business can be overwhelming. We’re here to help so you can focus on doing what you love: teaching yoga.
Hi, I’m Christine Mathias, licensed attorney and owner of Stretchtopia. With over ten years of legal experience, I use my skills to help businesses and nonprofits thrive. You can learn more about my law practice at mathiaslegal.com.
Using my experience running a workplace yoga organization, I am excited to help other yoga business owners tackle their legal issues and other organizational, financial, and marketing obstacles.
I understand the circumstances that are unique to the yoga industry, and why many of the other resources available for small businesses are not suitable for yoga teachers.
I started this website after finding a lack of reliable legal resources for yoga instructors. Sadly, there is a lot of misinformation out there. I am also very aware of the financial restrictions many yoga teachers encounter, making hiring an attorney impossible for many.
I hope that teachers everywhere will use our articles and templates to limit their liability and stay in compliance with the law. I want to help you prevent major issues before they happen, so you can focus on what you do best: teaching yoga.
