The Question of Spiritual Sell-Out’s
I Sold My Yoga Studio Because I Refused to Sell My Soul
For years, I poured my heart into a space that was meant to be sacred.
But the deeper I went into my own embodiment… the more I woke up to how the system demanded things that didn’t align:
… Pack the schedule
… Chase the metrics
… Prioritize growth over integrity
… Water down the teachings to “meet people where they are” even if it meant never asking them to rise
It began to feel like I was running a business fighting for its soul, not holding a sacred space with spiritual reciprocity.
The business was ‘working’ but my soul was not okay.
And so, after 3 years… I walked away.
Not because I didn’t believe in the work, but because I believed in it too much to keep letting capitalism dictate its form.
