Exploitation in the Wellness Industry
The wellness industry has hidden dangers that can lead to exploitation, as illustrated through the story of a woman who joined a yoga school. She initially sought spiritual breakthroughs but soon discovered a manipulative environment that capitalized on the hopes of its participants. This gradual infiltration often leaves individuals unaware of the exploitation occurring around them. Such narratives highlight the necessity for greater awareness and scrutiny of wellness practices that seem innocuous at first glance.
