This idea came out of wishing my favorite yoga class was closer to my house. My thought process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There are yoga studios closer to my house…<\/li>\n
  2. But I really like the teacher, she teaches at two gyms\/studios, but I only have membership to one. The other one is closer to my house…<\/li>\n
  3. I wish my membership extended to cover both places.<\/li>\n
  4. So can I have a yoga-teacher membership?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s what this post is all about. What if… Students were able to choose a membership centered around a specific teacher, and she\/he could teach at any studio\/gym, the students can attend based on that membership. Then, the teacher simply gives either a flat fee or percentage of her\/his class’s income to the gym\/studio as rent for that hour of class.
    \nPotential problem: how does the place that offers the room for the class prevent the users from taking advantage of other utilities in the space?
    \nPotential solution: layout the gym in a way there is one entrance area for the yoga room, and a separate one for the rest of the space. The Yoga teacher could maybe pay more per class if the place includes bathroom\/shower or other amenities for her\/his students, or the students can pay separate for that (if they want). It’s almost like “itemizing” – pay for what you use.<\/p>\n

    Benefits:
    \nThe most desireable yoga teachers stay in business
    \nMore flexibility to teach wherever, and know that students will come to you!<\/p>\n

    Of course, this idea could be expanded to other fields too – teachers, tutors, chefs, coaches…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
