Best GBS&TB01 Teaching Yoga

Teaching Yoga explores in depth and with compassion the whole area of ethics & the teacher-student relationship. Drawing on decades of experience training yoga teachers and co-writing the California Yoga Teachers Association (CYTA) code of ethics, Donna Farhi offers the first book to set professional standards for teaching yoga.

Covering a variety of topics both practical and philosophical, this work explores how to create healthy boundaries; the student-teacher relationship (including whether a sexual relationship is acceptable); how to create physical and emotional safety for the student; what is a reasonable class size; how much a class should cost; and how to conduct the business of teaching while upholding the integrity of yoga as a philosophy, a science, and an art.

A bonus CD features the author speaking about yoga ethics.
