Who is Alón Sagee?
Alón Sagee is a full-time coach, marketing consultant, writer, trainer,
and public speaker dedicated to helping the yoga business community prosper.
After graduating from Rutgers University
with an English and Economics degree, Alón entered the corporate
world, beginning his marketing initiation as a representative for
a large computer company. After six very successful years opening
new markets in two countries, Alón undid the tie, took off
the suit, bought a backpack, and began an extensive solo exploration
of this remarkable planet — a passion that has taken him to
over thirty countries to date.
Alón discovered
yoga in 1988 through an Indian friend who mentored him in Hatha
and Kriya yoga, as well as starting him on the path of Ayurvedic
study. Alón has made yoga his daily practice, and finds it
to be one of his greatest teachers.
Now, with over 20 years of experience as entrepreneur and corporate executive,
having conducted business development training seminars for thousands of
fellow marketers, Alón brings his love of yoga, business, and helping
others to this exciting new venture.
Alón was recently
invited to teach a new course titled "The Yoga of Business"
at CIIS, The California Institute of Integral Studies — an
accredited graduate school in San Francisco — that is meant
to impart to yoga teachers and studio owners the essential precepts
of business success in the information age.
USAToday recently ran
a good article on the business of yoga, for which Alón was
interviewed and quoted. Read the article by clicking the box to

In addition to being somewhat
of a fixture at his yoga studio, Alón can often be found
with his spiritual community at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, in
the beautiful hills of Marin County, California. Alón is
an active member of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters mentoring program,
and enjoys time with his "little brother" Cameron. Alón
is also a participant in the Cultural Restoration Tourism Project,
with which he spent five weeks in Mongolia, physically rebuilding
a large Buddhist monastery that was destroyed by the communist regime
in the 1930's. Information on both these and other wonderful karma
yoga organizations is posted on this web site.
Alón donates 10% of profits from his coaching practice to the karma
yoga charities listed on this site.
