...open. You can work full time, for an impossible-to-please boss, at a job you do not like, and teach in your basement for free.

There is nothing wrong with this, until you run yourself ragged. How can a poor, stressed out, and over-worked teacher, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, be a good example of the benefits that yoga has to offer?

The truth is: Everyone needs money to survive. If it is that easy to make so much, please give it away to the homeless on the street. You will be creating good karma and setting a good example, as a yoga teacher.

Yoga - A brief Historic Perspective

...Some of the earliest traces of Yoga take us as far back as 7000 years ago. Some scholars even theorise that yoga evolved from shamanic rituals that took place during the Stone Age.

A French Archaeologist discovered and excavated a Neolithic (7000 BC) settlement in Mehrgarth, Pakistan, between 1974 and 1986. To quote Ahmad Hasan Dani, a Professor of archeology, "Discoveries at Mehrgarh changed the entire concept of the Indus civilization".

Figurines found at the Mehrgarth excavation site depict Yoga postures which are still in use today.
