Reviews
The Yoga Teacher's Survival Guide shines in its capacity to engage in critical thinking and question the established norms within the yoga profession. The authors' dedication to scrutinizing these issues is admirable, prompting readers to re-evaluate their own perceptions and practices. The book's critique serves as a stark reminder that no field is without its flaws, and it compels us to address these shortcomings for the betterment of yoga as a whole.
Exhausted by daily engagement with the web of contradictions woven around post-modern yoga? Lost in the in the abysmal crack between the wellness industry and authentic yoga teaching? Alienated by the beach-and-bikini yoga lifestyle portrayed on social media? Then this is the book for you!
Incisive, revealing, uncompromising and poignant. A much needed factual and personal spotlight on the reality of teaching modern yoga.
An outstanding practical intervention that directly explores the painful paradoxes of teaching yoga. This book offers valuable questions, wise reflections and suggestions based on personal experience. Above all, it offers hope. It is grounded in, but not stifled by, the latest academic research on yoga.
