Yoga as a business

Every now and then I get these spam mails about “events” at yoga places and it seems clear to me that they’re just businesses trying to make money.

If it really were about healing it would be free. The teachers would get day jobs just like the rest of us.

Far too many yoga “teachers” are just entitled kids with rich parents, who could afford to go to India or to some expensive yoga retreat thousands of miles away. They have never worked an actual job in their life and have no career skills. That has nothing to do with community and nothing to do with healing.

These yoga places are just businesses, not centers of healing.
