The Back Room.
Welcome To The Back Room.
A working space for yoga and wellness professionals.
The Back Room is a quiet, private space for yoga and wellness professionals who want to think clearly about their work—and their place in the industry.
It exists for conversations that don’t belong on social media, and for professional reflection that doesn’t fit inside coaching containers, hot takes, or hustle culture.
This is not a community for venting.
And it’s not a program promising transformation.
It’s a working room.
Why The Back Room Exists
Over the last decade, the yoga and wellness industries have expanded rapidly—but the infrastructure to support people working in these fields hasn’t kept pace.
Most professional conversations now happen in public:
on social media
in comment threads
through performative discourse
These spaces are powerful for organizing, connection, and big-picture thinking.
They are not well suited for individual professional clarity.
The Back Room exists to hold a different kind of work:
reflection instead of reaction
discernment instead of comparison
strategy instead of hustle
It’s a place to pause, synthesize, and make sense of what you’re building—among other yoga and wellness pros who understand the terrain.
What Happens Inside
The Back Room is intentionally simple.
Inside, you’ll find:
Weekly or biweekly reflections connected to the Working In Yoga podcast
Occasional deep guides on topics affecting yoga and wellness professionals
Reflection sheets designed to help you translate industry insight into personal strategy
Periodic Q&A and discussion, focused on clarity—not coaching
Quarterly Book Clubs, to help expand our understanding of our work and our industry.
There is no syllabus.
There are no performance expectations.
You can engage actively, quietly, or intermittently.
This space is designed to support thinking, not constant output.
Who This Space Is For
The Back Room is for:
Yoga teachers and yoga therapists
Wellness professionals building long-term careers
Mid-career practitioners who are burned out but still invested
People navigating bespoke, non-linear career paths
Professionals who want to work with others without competing
It’s especially well suited for those who are confident in their craft, but seeking clarity about what’s next.
Who This Space Is Not For.
The Back Room is not:
Business coaching
Consulting
A place to outsource decision-making
A venting or drama-focused space
A shortcut to answers
If you’re looking for prescriptive advice, step-by-step formulas, or someone to tell you exactly what to do—this probably isn’t the right room.
How This Fits Into Sunlight Media
The Back Room is part of the Sunlight Media ecosystem, alongside:
Working In Yoga (podcast): industry conversation and pattern recognition
Inside Yoga Magazine: formal, editorial trade journalism
Online summits and connecting events
Consumer-facing education through film and publishing
