Oh f*ck, did we join a yoga cult?! We thought it was an organization that was changing the world through yoga - because the yoga felt so amazing and that's what the "methodology" was supposed to help us do. But the deeper we got in, the more indoctrinated we became. We've learned a LOT since then about manipulation, coercion, abuse of power and undue influence. (Be a yes, don't get me started...) And we're going to share it with you here. Super casual style, not fancy. It's just us and our opinions and true stories. We are allowed to speak our truth. We hope this helps people.

11 - Sh*t Cult Members Say: "I'm ignoring your harm because it was great for me!"
We are hearing the ripple effects of this podcast and not afraid to tawk about it!
Grab your cawwwwffee and get ready we're tawwking about you - people who don't listen to victims and double down to defend your own benefits... In this episode we talk about people who are publicly buckling down hard defending Baptiste Yoga and Baron instead of listening to those who are telling their true stories of harm.
We talk about how to respond to these people until wait -- they blocked me and erased my comments anyway???!!!! In other words... "I’m going to ignore your harm and let me tell you how great it is for me!"
We hear your "I’ve got mine-ism.”
We talk about the latest ALBC episode about Bentinho Massaro's cult and the whistleblowers saying “I never imagined people would not believe me.” We can relate! Do you think they believe us or not? They were our friends. Or they said they were.
“The good outweighs the bad.” (file under 'things cult members say')
People are listening to our podcast in their yoga teacher training! The discussions hopefully raise awareness and questions... "Can you still use the methodology and not do harm?" "Does the good outweigh the bad?" "Do the ends justify the means?"
"If you’re paying attention to people who have been abused, can you still justify it?"
Other cawwwffee cult tawwwlk tawwwwpics include:
What do I do now… I teach at an affiliate, how do I talk to the studio owners? What is the answer?
What do I teach now? Should I even teach JIP anymore?
"I Got Mine-ism" galore. If it didn't happen to you did it even happen? Ugh!
Talking about people who credit Baron for their success.
How did we personally transition out of Baptiste and how did we begin the healing process?
All this and more! Also send us your Q's for our upcoming Q & A episode DM us at @yogacultspod on IG
