Book Reviews of Teaching Yoga: Exploring the Teacher-Student Relationship
Book Review: An excellent resource!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am surprised to see that there are no reviews yet for this wonderful and well-considered book. I was not familiar with any of Donna Farhi's work previously, but I had heard good things about this book, and thought it would be helpful, as I am training to become an adult yoga teacher this year. The book addresses many important and relevant ethical issues relating to yoga teachers and their business, including their relationship with their students, their relationships with fellow teachers and their relationship with money, amongst other things.
I am already trained as a children's yoga teacher, and while this book does not specifically mention the subject of teaching children, it addresses issues which may arise in either teaching situation (such as when you should dismiss a student from the class, due to their behaviour). Yoga is not just a "fitness" activity - it is a philosophy which carries its own ethical code (Patanjali's Sutras) and Donna Farhi examines how this applies to yoga teachers in the modern world.
I have come back to this at several points already to re-read sections and to gain insight from the case study examples that Donna gives as real-life demonstrations of ethical problems for teachers.
All in all, a wonderful resource and highly recommended for anyone who teaches or who is training to teach.
