An
examination of the pros and cons of Gurus in modern society.
Discussion will include the psychological impact of authority
figures, the “fall” of several major yoga “luminaries” and the
fallout from each, as well as respected teachers whose good
reputations have held true.
We will discuss and role play situations exploring Teacher-Student
boundaries, Teacher-Teacher relationships, the duty of the teacher
to encourage student independence, and various other ethical
considerations. All situations will be linked back to the yamas and
niyamas.
