I think it’s also dangerous to just assume someone is innocent or the women are just opportunists out for money. Where do you get such facts? Do you know these women? Many women suffer from sexual abuse. We’re currently dealing with several women in our local community that have been raped by a yoga teacher. Many people think the man is innocent because of his public image and demeanor.

We put people on a pedestal because they’re a yoga teacher or we’ve had some positive interactions with them; doesn’t mean they don’t have issues and does not necessarily mean that they haven’t done horrible things.
Some one can be an amazing yoga teacher and also be a criminal and rapist. Ya crazy right? As much as we may might think it’s contradictory and upsetting it happens. I think it’s important to provide support to women who are violated because it happens a lot and it takes a hell of a lot of courage to come forward. Most women never come forward and report being violated because the falsely believe they’re responsible or they fear being judged or antagonized. As a result sexual violation of women continue and people who are guilty are not held accountable and continue to victimize women.

I’m sorry that this is happening in your community. It sucks. Yoga teachers are a source of inspiration and well being in many communities. To lose someone to such circumstances as this is unfortunate. But if he is guilty and he continues to teach and victimize women that’s also unacceptable. He soils the name of yoga, the title of yoga teacher, and traumatizes women out of a very sacred and deep practice. Who knows if some of these women will ever feel safe enough to come back to yoga again?

Yoga Dork great job for covering such a touchy subject. I think as a yoga community we all need to constantly reflect on the issues of appropriate touch and student/teacher relationships. Yoga is not just about stretching or getting a nice body. Many women come to yoga to heal their mind/bodies or to look for spiritual guidance and to violate that sacred space out of selfishness or unconsciousness is unacceptable. This is a way larger issue than someone’s nice body.
