Manage episode 375738328 series 2316522
Yoga teachers are often asked to teach for free in the name of Karma Yoga. However, when this term is divorced from the context of yoga philosophy, it can be exploited and misused. In this episode, Mado explores the practice of Karma Yoga and some of the less obvious implications behind the decision of whether or not to teach for free.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
- How the term Karma Yoga is commonly misused and a more accurate explanation of what it means.
- How Karma Yoga fits into the framework of the Purusharthas or the four aims of life.
- Three approaches to teaching yoga and how they relate to the Purusharthas.
- Pros and cons of each approach and how to choose which is best for you based on your circumstances.
- How teaching for free might help others or harm others - and ways to mitigate potential harm.
