I'm not assuming there are menial jobs available to her. Based on her statement about non-yoga instructor jobs and the fact that the article doesn't mention a search for them, I'm assuming she is only willing to work as a yoga teacher.

She is being criticized because she refuses to enter a different market even though her current market has collapsed.

I'm also not criticizing the lifestyle choices. I'm criticizing the unwillingness to reevaluate those choices when circumstances change.
