キノ・マクレガ―のインスタグラム(kinoyoga) - 6月17日 04時06分

Someone said: "I'm only here to ride on Kino's coat tails for as long as I can. Then I'm out." This is quid pro quo to the worst. It's like you don't see the person anymore in this paradigm, it's just about what they can do for you. My mistake was tolerating this kind of behavior and naively thinking that with kindness, patience and love I could gently open the heart and let the light of yoga pour into this person. That was my mistake. And I'm still healing from it.

This paradigm of "who are you and what can you do for me" is so two dimensional and it cheapens the whole human experience. I pour my heart and soul into any student I take on, especially ones that work closely with me. To have it thrown in my face with such blatant disregard for basic standards of respect is upsetting. While I see how much that person must have been (and may still be) in pain to be operating from the paradigm, I can't make my peace with the damage done to so many good people in the path of such foolishness. Students got injured, rumors were spread, a community fractured and I was used as a stepping stone. And for what? For yoga? This is where the whole thing just spins around on its axis for me. This is yoga. Let me say that again. YOGA. We are talking about a yogi, a practitioner who gets on the mat with dedication and has a powerful asana practice. So if that's what's inside, I can't say it's yoga. I'm disappointed in myself as a teacher. How could someone I worked so closely with totally not get it? How could they miss the mark of my fundamental teaching, that yoga is a path of light and love and we have to get beyond the pose? Where did I as a teacher go wrong? I'm still processing it all and figuring it all out. I don't have the answers.

And yet, despite all this, there's a place in my heart that's ready and open to apology, to embrace true contrition should it ever come. I mean, I'm not holding my breath for it, but I'm prepared to validate a turn towards the light anytime and in anyone. ?
