One of my teachers' teacher passed this week. I have been deeply impacted by this woman, and I never met her. Let her words be a guide. She had 30 years of teaching under her belt by 55, the age upon which she finished collecting ages.
Once again, the death of my teachers' teacher has become a teacher to me.
Your teachers matter. Their ethics matter. Good, bad, and otherwise.

If your practice isn't making it harder to stomach inequality whilst also lighting inside of you a fire to use your actions to ensure everyone can burn brightly, I'm not sure what your practicing, but it isn't yoga.
