Vantaggi

You can have a flexible schedule.

Svantaggi

Do not apply for or work at the DAYA Foundation. The organization is unlikely to sustain itself due to the founder Sarahjoy Marsh. She is not able to effectively manage a business or run a non profit because she does not understand how to lead a team. She avoids directly communicating with any staff. She will often set up meetings, begin projects, make announcements to the public without informing her staff. This causes confusion and chaos in her organization and students are constantly frustrated by the revolving door of changes (staff and policy). Her projects fail because she does not take the necessary steps to insure that her entire team has an understanding of her vision. Her idea of leadership looks like ordering her staff to comply with whatever request she feels is pressing to her in that moment. She called me by the wrong name and multiple times referred to me as her assistant which was not my position. My job description varied from the day I started and it was extremely apparent that the organization was a complete mess and could not be respected from a business perspective. I received no training and was told by the individual that I replaced that I should not work at DAYA. Apart from her inability to properly run her organization on an administrative level, she takes NO RESPONSIBILITY for any of the chaos, project failures, student confusion that is so prevalent at DAYA. She blames nearly everything on her staff or deflects responsibility by saying it is out of her wheelhouse. Simultaneously she micromanages her entire staff often diverting them from their ability to create any administrative stability.

Vantaggi

The team at the DAYA Foundation has been incredibly inspiring to me. Being mentored to teach authentic yoga, connected with the roots of yoga in India, has spared me from the high burnout factor of other yoga teachers. I have been both personally and professionally mentored by Sarahjoy, whose dedication to teaching authentic yoga for over 30 years inspires me so much. She brought yoga to Oregon's prisons after living at Breitenbush Hot Springs. Leaving Breitenbush to come back into the city on behalf of prisoners is something that I really admire in her. Not only is Sarahjoy a source of encouragement, the staff, other teachers, and the students are also so encouraging.

Svantaggi

I have no cons to offer. Seems like other people had some personal issues to work out, but those comments do resonate with my experiences.

Vantaggi

On paper, an inspiring mission

Svantaggi

Owner is a true narcissist. Gaslighting and gossip, as the other reviews state, are worse than ever.
