I stopped posting to Instagram because I felt fairly certain it was responsible for a great deal of harm that has come to a great number of people.
As a teacher of yoga, I felt irresponsible using it to as a platform to promote the work that i do, knowing that it can do such great harm. So, ya know, I only posted to my stories and basically used it as a way to send memes to like 4 of my besties.
But, ya know, I have an awesome little yoga studio @theyoga.club to promote. And, I want to make more money as a yoga teacher.
So, here I am again, knowingly running the risk of presenting half truths, using pictures as commodities, and banking on the fact that good looks and pretty pictures go a long way.
Wish me luck! How do you all make heads or tails of the ethics around this?
