135: Moving Forward After Our Teachers Let Us Down with Karin Carlson


Listen Later

I had a profound conversation with yoga teacher and writer Karin Lynn Carlson (she/her) and I can’t wait for you to listen.  Karin is a thoughtful teacher and a beautiful writer and has so much to share on the intersection of ethics and yoga teaching. This episode is packed with both valuable insights and practical advice.

We talked about implementing a code of ethics akin to those in social work and discussed problematic behavior and abuse within the yoga world. Karin offered insights about how to support survivors, foster a healthier yoga community and move forward together. These are crucial topics as we envision a future where yoga communities are more accountable, supportive, and ethical. 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • the importance of implementing a code of ethics in the yoga community

  • boundaries, teacher-student relationships and who is responsible for holding the container

  • the essential role of believing and supporting abuse survivors in the yoga community 

  • advice for teachers who are struggling to move forward after their teachers have let them down
