YOGIS

Think of spiritual guides who might lead a class in downward dog or meditation.

The word "teachers" here is a playful hint—it doesn’t mean school instructors but people who teach or guide in a specific practice. "Yogis" are practitioners of yoga, often seen as spiritual teachers in traditions like Hinduism or modern wellness. The clue cleverly twists the usual meaning of "teachers" to point toward those who lead others in yoga, making the answer a pun on the word’s broader sense. Think of a yoga instructor as a kind of teacher, and the answer clicks.
