Sure, maybe, one should always strive to enlighten others, but not before enlightening one’s self. Jessamyn Stanley speaks about how one cuts through all that to find oneself. But, only if you have the correct dress size and bank account. Sure, enlightenment, do no harm, be above the hubbub of the world.but, how are you going to eat and pay bills while searching for enlightenment and the true self? Spirituality costs, baby! Are you willing to pay the price for the chance to have a perfect body, a pure soul, and to live forever? Sure you are! Your soul is money, and your god will be your yoga instructor-who will lovingly hawk overpriced subscriptions and unnecessary swag to make you feel more a part, or shall we say yoked to the practice. However, she also points out that to teach yoga-past and present-one has to be a mercenary when it comes to making money. Stanley goes pretty in-depth about her conflicting feelings on American yoga and the community it breeds, especially when it comes to White supremacy, bigger bodies, and capitalism.
