Thanks, I'm glad that you like this article! It sounds like you don't think that yoga can ride the wave of capitalistic attention, and at the same time it is monetary support that has helped to fuel a veritable explosion of yogic interest. So I think it might be complicated, and I have hope that minds and actions can be applied in ways that can help. That's why I wrote this!

Thanks, Carlos! I wish it was required reading for people involved in yoga. Our yoga might be so much better, and the attendant relationships so much more consciously lived. It can just be so easy to love the "love" without healthy discernment or sucked into the seduction of ones own adoration, if my stumbling path can serve as an example.

Thanks, Robbie! 'The Guru Papers' definitely helped to define power mechanics that previously just "didn't feel right." It's amazing how much defining something can speed healing.

I like this: "It's hard enough sometimes sorting out the truth of what we tell ourselves in our own heads." It's true, and I think it's important to do that work! Thanks for your comment!

Thanks, Janice! I appreciate your comment. It sounds like the student had assigned a special status to the studio owner.

Idunknow, chills... I think that different individuals are processing their pain differently. Sometimes that means denial. And other times it can mean different responses...
