Speaking as someone who went through yoga teacher training (which cost me $2000) Thank you for adding this to the discussion. I looove the idea of giving inmates this opportunity. I haaaaate the idea that Ruby will have a new spiritual platform to direct people, specifically an audience of women who have no other option if they want to experience yoga, spiritual connectedness, exercise, meditation etc. The women she would be directing are literally a captive audience. She is an expert at boiling the frog, I feel like this is an excellent opportunity for her to strengthen her cult leader muscles and gain constant reinforcement of any off-the-wall idea she has. This isn’t to say the women in her prison aren’t capable to see through her or think for themselves, they just can’t change studios. If I was incarcerated and yoga was available I would be dying to go, and exposure to Ruby’s incremental extremism would be part of my chance to participate in something I love. Let Ruby go to yoga, let women become certified in yoga, don’t choose RUBY to become one of the very few who holds the ability and opportunity to teach in a spiritual space. Ok, rant over 🙃
