Journey Into Yoga Cults

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.

You asked, we answered. Thank you so much for writing into us and sharing your stories, questions and topic ideas. We are listening.

A peek into this conversation: how to protect people from Baron, real talk about "affiliate studios" businesses, the lack of support from Baron and "The Institute" but lots of encouragement to open open open an affiliate studio, to BE A YES to opening a yoga studio with no concern for the cost or the reality of how you need to be business wise to succeed in this market... and what to do if you are employed by a Baptiste affiliate and you are questioning the harmful practices? How to keep teaching yoga and what to teach in order to stop being harmful and stop perpetuating Baptiste Yoga. Is it possible to still teach for an affiliate and not perpetuate harm? Good questions! Let's talk about it and let us know your thoughts. @yogacultspod
