In recent years I have seen an increasing amount of rhetoric suggesting that if yoga teachers are not using their platforms to speak out, attend protests, or publicly support particular causes, they are somehow failing to live their yoga. The implication is often that silence equals complicity. That not taking a public stand is evidence of indifference.

I’m not convinced that cramming information into exhausted people over long weekends is always the best way to learn yoga.

If you’re thinking about becoming a yoga teacher—or simply feeling the pull to dive deeper into your practice—you might be wondering if you’re “ready.” Let me be clear: I’m not looking for perfection.
