039: THE YOGRIFT
WITH GUEST: Bryan Wither, Movement CoachWHAT'S THE WHAT: On this episode, I interview DAM WELL BETTER alum, Bryan Wither, about his experience with an opportunistic yoga mentor.Whereas weightlifting and fitness gyms have an emphasis on strength, aggression and hardening the mind, the yoga atmosphere centers around limbering the mind, perfecting your spirit and harmonizing your life. But what can lie underneath all those good vibes and incense smoke? Turns out, some serious grifting, especially when people's livelihoods are on the line. We discuss a multitude of ways and reasons the wrong teacher can become a spiritual predator. What sets us up for this fuckery, even if we know better? And how does the "do no harm" crowd, in fact, do harm? MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Bryan on IGAnimal Flow________________________________________________________SUPPORT THE SHOW!**Join my Patreon!
