Journey Into Yoga Cults
Yoga Cults PodcastersOh f*ck, did we join a yoga cult?! We thought it was an organization that was changing the world through yoga - because the yoga felt so amazing and that's what the "methodology" was supposed to help us do. But the deeper we got in, the more indoctrinated we became. We've learned a LOT since then about manipulation, coercion, abuse of power and undue influence. (Be a yes, don't get me started...) ... more

- Disorganized & nonspecific
I had to DNF after the first two episodes. They spent TWO FULL HOURS talking but not a single specific example of how they were “harmed” “coerced” “victimized” or any other number of accusations they made. They talked in circles, there were lots of random long pauses (even with me listening in 1.5 speed!), and the audio quality was poor.

United States8 months ago - Appreciate the validation, but watch out for other (medical) coercion you are experiencing
This validated my 19 year old thoughts when I started level 1 and only completed level 2 to get my 200 hour. I was delighted to hear baron wouldn’t be at level 2 while many other students were upset, which made me also feel like this was very culty. With no education on anatomy and teaching actual ancient yoga principles, I continued onto another 200 hour where I felt more like my own teacher. I’m glad this is being discussed and it saddens me to see that he still has an impact, but we are all c... more

Is all the swearing necessary? Can’t you send your message without all of the swearing? It is really jarring and takes away from the message.

Canada2 years ago - Brave, honest, impactful
I just recently found this podcast. I practiced Baptiste Yoga for many years, really loved it, and really wanted to take YTT through Baptiste. I even went to the Cambridge studio! I feel like I really dodged a bullet by not going down that path. I recently started a YTT- not with Baptiste- and read Journey Into Power for the first time to compare it to what I am learning in YTT. I was struck by the complete lack of acknowledging Yoga’s ancient history, philosophy, and cultural context. Big red f... more
Apple Podcasts5kvdeardorffUnited States2 years ago - Good
I always got a culty vibe from my local yoga baptiste yoga studio so it’s very validating to hear that I’m not alone in that.
My gripe is that this pod is painfully disorganized, slow, and boring.
