Welcome to the Forum, thank you for your contributions and they way you have handled my replies in the post you mentioned. 
Looking forward to your future contributions.
Very warm welcome.
I wish you all the Best of luck with your yoga studio(s).Definitely A super fantastic idea!!!.
I too had this same idea myself but my motivations and priorities may have changed a little as my practice, i.e insight into myself, and understanding , of yoga, deepened.
Yoga is abbout digging deep into your true nature,connecting(at it’s most profound level) with one’s soul, or the divine. One can stimulate other people’s intnerest through the usual route ,asana,and this is very applaudable. Even if one’s motivations change during the project.If you are serious about yoga, you have to be careful your are not doing this because of money or adulation or wahtever…Just keep some checks and balances on yourself. You are not looking for money or acknowledgemtn or recognition,i.e putting the ego on display,or seeking to gratify it.
I do actually agree with you.some yoga is better than no yoga.i was intoroduced to yoga as asana, like most folk here.Not as religion,philosphy or as a comprehensive set of tools passed down through th centuries and generations, with or without a teacher, (or student). And alot of teachers probably have no experience of running their own business, and you can only get the confidence for this with experience.usually the only way one learns many things in life.
I don’t think you’ll be short of yoga teachers looking for somehwere to take their students.If your intentions are to spread yoga as an effective tool,set of tools,body of wisdom for self-transformation,then they are very noble.
You seem to have a great understanding of yoga’s compapritively short histroy here in the west.So you seem to have a fair bit of insight already.
Getting students might be trickier( than getting teachers),i.e for your studio(s), but that might depend to some extent on your teachers, and clever marketing…maybe.
All teachers will have something unique and special to offer, and put whatever spin and style, and personality, on whatever teachings they’re interested in teaching.
I don’t have any experience in this regard but opening up a studio seems doable if one applies oneself and one’s heart is in it,even if you’re just the proprietor.
My main concern is the ‘Bikram backlash’ where any development within yoga is seen as McYoga, making quality instructors difficult to attract.
If you’ve switched them on enough to continue and explore further, then you’ve succeeded.
BIg mac or the whole a la carte buffet menu. You’ve roused their interest enough to sustain continued exploration. At least that is how i got into it. Al you need is a spark, seed or whatever .Whether they feel motivated to continue exploring is partly their motivation,inspiration, wherever they are in life.
