    Karin,
    I so felt the sadness and heaviness of the situation you are in (personally) and we are in (as a community). The questions your piece raises I think are unanswerable. Our model for modern yoga that is as long lived as the ancient practice/science, is yet to be uncovered. A system/model for today will have to be as diverse as our geography, economics, and spiritual need. I believe that yoga is a fad in the fitness realm like spin, dance aerobics, etc. It is not a fad as a lifestyle, attitude and path. Perhaps you will find the way in your geographic community to continue your service in yet, a new way.
