In this episode, Kate Farrants, founder of the phenomenally successful Movement for Modern Life explores the ethics of the yoga business and how the spiritual and material, (ie money) aspects of yoga can get along, or not! Kat is totally honest, warm and curious as we chew on lots of questions including:
- Can you ever make money out of being a yoga teacher?
- Is burnout inevitable?
- How can you be a viable teacher?
- Is it ethical to train more and more teachers in an already saturated market?
- What about gyms and studios underpaying teachers?
- What about free yoga videos, does this devalue the practice?
- How social media make yoga less diverse, less inclusive
