Jivamukti Yoga Studio in NYC is such a total pain in the ass with their ex-students, and if you want to go to class anywhere near there, you aren't going to find a studio run by their students, which sucks, because they teach really well. I refuse to to patronize Jivamukti for just that reason, and I know lots of people who do the same. these non-compete things can be such a drag.

He left the Academy and started teaching on his own, which violated the non-compete contract. That makes sense. But, I didn't realize you could be prosecuted criminally for breaking a contract. I thought he could just be sued civilly. Some DOJ I turned out to be. So he was taught at and worked for the Academy, and had a non-compete contract with them.

The real story just isn't very interesting (don'g sign a non-compete clause in a state where they're enforcable if you don't intend to abide by it), so the various newsies just made up a better one. Business as usual. This has nothing whatsoever to do with teaching the cha-cha.
