  • Teaching Hatha Yoga - Be Thankful for Difficult Students
    Every once in a while I will meet a veteran yoga teacher who is disgruntled over difficult students.

    When you teach a friend, co-worker, or family member, one Yoga technique, you have taken the first step toward becoming a Yoga teacher.

Large Yoga classes are not a bad thing, but it is easy to forget the way Yoga was taught for centuries.
  • The Purpose of Yoga - Choosing a Yoga Teacher and a Yoga School

    Yoga means union or unity. Where is the "unity" in discrimination? Discrimination originates from a closed mind. Discrimination works closely with intolerance and can lead to unjustified acceptance of blatant lies, or worse.
  • The Perseverance of Teaching Yoga (Part 2)

    You could call Yoga the "mother" of all health maintenance systems. Many of today's health maintenance systems are "off shoots" of Yoga.

    Pranayama is possibly the most overlooked aspect of Hatha Yoga. Every Yoga teacher training course includes a significant segment about Pranayama. Although B.K.S.

Walk the middle path, avoid extremes, show loving kindness, and maintain a standard of professionalism within all of your Yoga classes.
  • Yoga Options for Managing Anxiety

  • Designing a Plan to Become a Yoga Teacher (Part 2)
