SO CPY (Shame on CorePower Yoga) exists to bring transparency, accountability, and care to the conversation around labor practices in the modern power yoga and boutique fitness industry.
This site was created by a yoga teacher who has lived inside the system—teaching yoga classes, supporting students, and witnessing firsthand how the language of community can be used to justify underpaid labor, invisible work, and unsustainable working conditions.
SO CPY exists to share lived experience, factual information, and a labor-aware perspective with honesty and integrity. It advocates for fair compensation, clean and safe yoga studios, and dignified working conditions for yoga teachers—without harassment, cruelty, or misinformation.
This is not a space for cancellation. It is a space for accountability. It is a space for education, solidarity, and collective care. Yoga is more than a brand. Community is not a marketing strategy. And ethical workplaces are not optional.
This playlist is for every teacher, manager, studio coordinator, SET Staff, and Students — especially those who want to participate in collective action but are unable to strike for financial, personal, or professional reasons.
If you can’t walk out, press play.
Let this music be your quiet protest, your reminder that your labor matters, your joy matters, and you are not alone.
