Namaskar Steph,

What you have written is true. Yoga is wonderful, but we cannot exist without money. If anyone spends years of study at great expense and then gs through a yoga certification course at more expense, why should she teach for free?

There are very few independently wealthy yoga instructors, because so many of them give. This is beautiful, but being a good person dsn't require you to live in poverty. Issues with money are exactly that. Some people hoard it, steal it, give it away, or feel guilty about it. Do use money to help others, but don't drive yourself crazy over it.

Jai,
