Yoga Law

The firm offers its employees a regular yoga class and encourages a healthy work/life balance. The firm also applies a yogic mindset to its practice of law: focusing on children and families in crisis and providing strong and calm advocacy with a conscience.

With its yoga law practice, The Law Center merges its passion for yoga with its experience in business law and transactional matters. The firm offers studio owners and yoga instructors help with the following:

• Business entity formation and operation
• Releases, waivers of liability, and intake forms
• Insurance policy reviews and advice
• Intellectual property protection, e.g., copyrighting your written materials
• Advice regarding and performance of background checks on teachers and assistants
• Advice regarding liability and teaching practices such as physical assists and inquiring about injuries
• Employment and independent contractor agreements
• Non-compete agreements
• Commercial leases and real estate transactions
• Taxation issues
• Special issues involved in online class offerings
• Special issues involved in trainings and retreats located outside the United States
• Representation in negotiations for retreats, workshops, trainings, festivals, and other special events
• Speaking about legal issues at yoga teacher trainings

The Law Center’s goal is to offer studio owners and yoga instructors the comprehensive legal support they need, so that they can focus on their teaching and their own yoga practice. We also have experience helping dance studios, as their needs are similar to those of yoga studios.
