The North American Studio Alliance (NAMASTA) generally follows the following procedure for identifying vendors that may supply services as part of the NAMASTA membership or to the wellness community:

the need has been expressed or verified, by means of community feedback, membership surveys, etc...

the need has to be addressable beyond the local level (for instance, mirrors for your studio or office are generally supplied by a neighborhood merchant);

the vendor needs to offer quality services on a large scale at affordable prices;

the vendor is asked to offer a substantial privilege or discount to our members.

Once you join, most services are contracted directly between you and the vendors - we encourage you to read the Terms of Use for more information.

NAMASTA is not owned or controlled by vendors and wishes to caution the wellness community and their professionals against vendor-controlled organizations.

Our vendor "partners" provide our members and the wellness community* with offerings in areas that include:

a choice of affordable liability insurance programs for yoga teachers, massage therapists, Pilates and T'ai Chi professionals.

the lowest cost health care benefit we have found for our US members, covering a wide range of services;

low cost dental plans;

the most competitive rate and service quality we have found for long distance in the United States
