Join the Yoga Teacher’s Branch of the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) and be part of our movement for radical change in the yoga community and beyond. The IWGB is a new and dynamic trade union that represents workers who have traditionally been non-unionised and under-represented. Yoga today has become an industry, and as workers together, we want to make sure the industry reflects the values of liberation and healing at the heart of yoga. Our vision is of a community that uplifts the most vulnerable and exists in solidarity with precarious workers and unpaid care work across industries; working together towards an industry where there is equity and transparency. Oppression, the commercial co-opting and the exploitation of culture have no place in the future of yoga. Building a profession together that is valued, sustainable, with a living wage and an end to insecure working practices.

Becoming a member is a concrete first step YOU can take towards building a future where yoga is an empowering practice for all bodies on and off the mat.
