Why we built Kuleo

Teachers are the heart of yoga. They should be paid like it.

I've practiced yoga for ten years, and some of the best moments of my life have happened in a class or on a retreat. The teachers who led them became some of the most important people in my world — the ones who helped me deepen my practice and expand how I see everything.

So it's never sat right with me how little they earn. The teacher is the reason anyone shows up — yet the way the industry is built, too much of the money goes to the studio. I spent my career in enterprise tech sales, and I kept landing on the same thought: the people creating all the value deserve tools, and earnings, that match it.

Kuleo is my answer. It's built to help teachers keep more of what they earn, fill their classes, and truly connect with their students — whether they're across town or across the world. Less time lost to admin, more freedom in your schedule, and a bigger stage for your message.

The vision is simple: make great yoga more accessible to everyone, and help the teachers who share it earn far more, with the freedom to reach more people their own way. This one's inspired by my own teacher, Alex.
