Episode 7 - The Dark Side Of Yoga

A lot of people think their yoga teacher can do no wrong — placing them on a pedestal and accepting behaviors that would never be allowed in other instances. But the truth is, many so-called yoga gurus have a dark side. 

In this episode, I’ll shed light on the unfortunate abuse of power that runs rampant in the yoga world and what yoga students need to be aware of when choosing a yoga teacher to ensure they will be safe and respected on their mat. I’ll also share ways that yoga teachers can embody their authority without disempowering their students, how to approach hands-on adjustments, the problem with demonstrating yoga postures, and how everyone can get deeper into yoga the AYAMA way.
