Sounds like a fantastic opportunity to work on interesting problems. Do you require any specific background in yoga, or is data science knowledge and experience the primary focus?

A strong data science background is the most important qualification for this position. However, it's a plus if the candidate is open to learning about yoga practices and philosophy.
