YOGA: HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

摘要

It seems to happen with alarming regularity that a spiritual teacher is exposed (no pun intended) for having misused his position to take advantage of students’ trust. Most recently, the yoga social media and blogging worlds are debating the inappropriate “adjustments” perpetrated by K. Patabhi Jois. Like B.K.S. Iyengar, T.K.V. Desikachar and Indra Devi, Jois was a direct student of T. Krishnamacharya, often considered to be the progenitor of modern yoga. The style of yoga he developed, Ashtanga, a fast-moving, athletic form of practice, is the inspiration for much of today’s popular, flow-based yoga.
