Book Reviews of Teaching Yoga: Exploring the Teacher-Student Relationship

Book Review: Not Much Practical Info
Summary: 1 Stars

I think Donna Farhi is a masterful teacher and I loved other books of hers. But this one was a disappointment - I was looking for some real practical guidance and instead got a lot of detail on ethics. The ethics of teaching yoga was covered in my teacher training (and should be in all, IMHO). If you're looking for a book on the ethics of teaching yoga, this is a wonderful, well-written guide written in Farhi's lyrical and inspiring style. But if you want something that gives more help on the nitty gritty of teaching classes (to be fair, she does have a little helpful info on how to structure classes), buy another book.

Summary of Teaching Yoga: Exploring the Teacher-Student Relationship

In Teaching Yoga, Donna Farhi addresses the growing need within the Yoga community to establish professional standards of conduct and training for Yoga teachers. Drawing on decades of teaching experience, she explores with compassion and clarity the complex questions that lie at the heart of the teacher-student relationship:

. As a Yoga teacher, how do you respond to the many roles you are called upon to play--health care adviser; personal confidante; spiritual mentor; physical therapist?

. How can you create healthy boundaries for yourself and your students, and maintain a safe, supportive environment?

. How do you deal with a difficult student or a question of ethics?

Woven throughout Teaching Yoga are examples from Donna's personal experience that she calles "Ethical Inquiries." In the Teacher Workbook section, she presents additional Ethical Inquiries that are both practical and provocative, and invites you to discuss these issues with your friends and colleagues. This section alone makes the book ideal for teacher training!

Incudes a bonus CD: "Holding a Heart in Our Hands," which is a keynote address Donna gave a Yoga Spirit 2002, a Yoga conference held in Lake George, New York. (74:20 minutes)
