i've been rather avoiding this subject all week. . .
long-time readers know i'm a big fan of yoga teacher rodney yee. i've taken his workshop at jivamukti.
so my first reaction to this news story is just a simple, "say it ain't so." the student concerned appears to be a yoga teacher herself. of course there are charlatans in all walks of life, but i'm having a hard time thinking of rodney yee this way. brahmacharya is an important yogic principle, and the iyengar school from which rodney yee comes has adopted very strict ethical codes on this subject (see section II.4).
good people can make terrible mistakes; of course, the relationship between a yoga teacher and a student can be close, as the teacher regularly touches to make adjustments. so perhaps it's all a misunderstanding. still, i would be extremely disappointed if it were true.
