| A wonderful tool.It is great to have this publication available. There are very few resources specifically available for yoga teachers that add professionalism to the practice. This book is user friendly, well designed and cutting edge. Although it is titled "Lessons for Yoga Teachers" it can be successfully used by any student who has had some class work and practice experience. Use this book and you will not have to buy others.
Its an awesome book, yoga teacher must have!This is a great book and a wonderful tool to have as a yoga instructor.
Its a great help to built lessons with intention.
I am so happy I bought it! Truly, a teacher must have...
Great yoga guideThis yoga book is different from all others. The focus is not only on lessons one can teach, but also what we learn from yoga. The author's writing style is extremely clear yet often adds depth and understanding for both novice and yogi. You can open any chapter in any sequence which makes it a handy reference as well as a great tool.
meditatingSo far, I have enjoyed this book. It has some great meditations in it.
Great for anyone.
very unique and usefulThis yoga book is unlike any other out there. The focus is on the lessons we can get from yoga, and how those lessons fit into the larger scheme of things. Nancy has a way of saying something very profound yet in an easy to understand style. It's very well written and is especially suited for the serious yoga student and teacher alike. Each chapter is independent of the other so you can pick it up whenever it suits you and still follow along. Bravo!
Product DescriptionGuiding Yoga's Light: Lessons for Yoga Teachers moves beyond the anatomical aspects of asanas to help instructors present the deeper concepts of yogic philosophy to their students and offer insight into the integration of yogic teachings into everyday life.
Now in an updated, expanded edition, Guiding Yoga's Light presents 74 easy-to-follow, succinct lesson plans offering instruction in hatha yoga, including asana, pranayama, the yamas and niyamas, the chakras, creating mindfulness, and understanding emotions. The text also includes three new, teacher-requested chapters: Salutations in Motion, Lessons of the Heart Center, and Relaxation. For convenient reference, teachers and students can also refer to the vocabulary of Sanskrit pronunciations included in the glossary.
Lesson plans progress from basic yogic concepts important for beginning students to more advanced material. Each lesson plan offers a written script for use in class. For beginning teachers, these scripts provide a helpful structure and set the stage for mindful yoga instruction. More advanced teachers may use these lessons and scripts as a creative departure point for expanding on the wellness effects of asana or focusing the day's practice. For ease of planning and organization, each lesson follows a six-part outline: - The intention provides the focus for the day's yoga class.
- Approximate time offers the length of each lesson script to help yoga teachers manage class time.
- The lesson embodies the essence of the day's teaching, which is expanded on in the following three sections.
- Asanas for deepening illustrate and incoporate the lesson through body stretch, movement, and sensation.
- Practice off the mat helps students integrate the lesson into their daily lives by providing an assignment, a reminder, or a discussion topic.
- To end each lesson, wise words offer selected quotes, suggestions, or proverbs to remind students of the lesson as they engage in their practice outside the class.
The text takes beginning students and teachers on a journey through the various aspects of yoga to understand the foundations of hatha practice. Beginning with basics of breathing, Guiding Yoga's Light progresses to the physical and spiritual philosophy of the asanas and salutations and ends with lessons to bring clarity, calmness, and relaxation into daily life.
Guiding Yoga's Light: Lessons for Yoga Teachers interprets yoga's 5,000-year-old philosophy in an effort to inspire, delight, and empower yoga students to enrich their physical, emotional, and spiritual lives both on and off the mat. With each lesson, Guiding Yoga's Light demonstrates how the strength, balance, and stretching of the physical practice can inspire a healthy, complete, and joyous existence.
