Tucson's Yoga Cooperative — Teacher-Owned, Community-Focused
Saguaro Blossom Yoga is Tucson's first cooperative yoga studio. Teachers receive 65-70% revenue (not 30-40% industry standard), govern democratically, and share ownership.
About This Practice
Arizona's first teacher-owned yoga cooperative. We believe yoga instructors deserve fair compensation, democratic governance, and shared ownership. Our cooperative model ensures that 65-70% of class revenue goes directly to teachers, decisions are made collectively, and the studio serves the community rather than enriching a single owner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a yoga cooperative?
A yoga cooperative is a studio owned and governed by its members rather than a single owner or corporation. At Saguaro Blossom, teachers share ownership, make decisions democratically, and receive 65-70% of class revenue instead of the industry standard 30-40%. Rebecca founded the co-op to create a more equitable and sustainable model.
How do teachers benefit from the cooperative model?
Teachers at Saguaro Blossom receive 65-70% of class revenue, have a vote in all major studio decisions, and share ownership of the business. This is dramatically better than the 30-40% pay and zero governance rights that most yoga studio employees receive.
How can I join the cooperative as a teacher?
We welcome experienced yoga teachers who align with our values of accessibility, trauma-informed practice, and community service. Reach out to us to learn about the application process, required training, and membership buy-in. We especially seek teachers with specialized training in adaptive or trauma-informed yoga.
As a student, does the cooperative model affect my experience?
Yes, positively! Because teachers are invested owners rather than underpaid employees, you get more passionate, committed instruction. Our transparent sliding scale pricing ($12-$24/class) stays low because we don't have an owner extracting profit. The cooperative model means better yoga for less money.
