Journey Into Yoga Cults

Yoga Cults Podcasters

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.

2 - What Happened?

Join us as we ask each other "What happened?!" How did we get here and what do we do now? Do you have similar questions you are asking yourself? Join us as we try and figure out what to do now, what to take ownership for, who will answer for the wrong-doing and what does accountability look like? Please feel free to reach out to us on our Instagram @yogacultspod if you have something to share, ask or suggest. We are here for all of it.
