Review of The Yoga Handbook, An Inspirational Reference for Teaching and Home Practice (Spiral-bound)

I am in the process of becoming a certified yoga instructor.I have read plenty of books on yoga, but this is the only one I foundthat specifically addresses the art of teaching yoga.It is obvious that Stephanie Keach has put a lot of thought into this book - it covers everything a beginning or a seasoned pro may need to know in order to teach yoga safely and professionally.I was very impressed with the amount of information present in this book!There is so much here - ethics of a yoga teacher, the business of yoga, what you need for a basic studio, asanas, meditation, pranayama techniques, anatomy, etc., etc.

This book is the perfect supplement to my training. I thank Ms. Keach for a wise and enlightened book! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in teaching yoga or deepening their own home practice.Well done!Namaste!
