Who We Are

Hi, I’m Christine Mathias, licensed attorney and owner of Stretchtopia. With over ten years of legal experience, I use my skills to help businesses and nonprofits thrive. You can learn more about my law practice at mathiaslegal.com.

Using my experience running a workplace yoga organization, I am excited to help other yoga business owners tackle their legal issues and other organizational, financial, and marketing obstacles.

I understand the circumstances that are unique to the yoga industry, and why many of the other resources available for small businesses are not suitable for yoga teachers.

I started this website after finding a lack of reliable legal resources for yoga instructors. Sadly, there is a lot of misinformation out there. I am also very aware of the financial restrictions many yoga teachers encounter, making hiring an attorney impossible for many.

I hope that teachers everywhere will use our articles and templates to limit their liability and stay in compliance with the law. I want to help you prevent major issues before they happen, so you can focus on what you do best: teaching yoga.
