50 Things to Know About Teaching Yoga: A Practical Guide to Transform Lives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798578981241)

Have you ever wanted to take a yoga class, but were afraid to because you can't bend like a pretzel? Would you like to learn how to relax? Would you try yoga if you knew that you only need to do what you can do? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this book is for you.

Most books on yoga tell you so much about its history, filling pages with information that, while interesting to some people, might be something that you have zero interest in. Or they get so technical and bogged down with words and jargon that you get glazy-eyed, confused, simply close the book, and place it on the shelf. Although there's nothing wrong with that information, it might not be what you are looking for right now, if ever. You just want to know how to practice yoga.

50 Things to Know About Teaching Yoga by Ann M. Jayne offers approaches and answers to these questions and many others that you might have to make yoga accessible and doable for absolutely anyone. Based on knowledge gleaned from yoga teacher training, workshops, videos, books and articles written by professional yoga teachers, physical therapists and other health professionals who practice yoga, Ann has presented ways to make yoga doable for you. She has placed her personal spin on it as a yoga teacher who cannot do all of the poses, but wants to help as many people as possible feel better physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

In these pages you'll discover that yoga is indeed personal. It is your practice. You customize it to how you are feeling on any given day. This book will help you learn that there are many ways to practice yoga and that you decide when enough is enough, when you have reached a limit, or when you can reach a little farther.

By the time you finish this book, you will know that you, too, can practice yoga. Any time. Anywhere.
