Drawing on decades of experience in training yoga teachers, Donna Farhi offers the first book to set professional standards for yoga teachers.

Teaching Yoga explores with depth and compassion a variety of topics both practical and philosophical, including how to create healthy boundaries; the student-teacher relationship (including whether a sexual relationship is acceptable); how to create physical and emotional safety for the student; what is a reasonable class size; how much a class should cost; and how to conduct the business of teaching while upholding the integrity of yoga as a philosophy, a science, and an art.

Bonus audio content features the author speaking about yoga ethics at a 2002 conference.

Industry Reviews
"I highly recommend Donna's latest offering, Teaching Yoga: Exploring the Teacher-Student Relationship. Donna has consistently worked to bring insight and awareness regarding ethical standards and violations of them within the Yoga community. My prayer is that every Yoga teacher-training program offer a course on ethics, using Donna's book as the text. Upon entering a Yoga studio, students should know that this book is available as a resource and guide for ethical behavior."
Richard C. Miller, PhD, author of Yoga Nidra: The Meditative Heart of Yoga (book and CD)

"Donna Farhi shows that teaching yoga requires both commitment to personal practice and integrity in relationships with students. Her inspiring book is an essential resource for the new generation of teachers who will carry forward this transformative lineage and impart the living experience of yoga to a world in need of healing. Highly recommended reading for anyone who loves yoga and wants to share it with others."
Greg Bogart, PhD, author of The Nine Stages of Spiritual Apprenticeship: Understanding the Student-Teacher Relationship

"At last, here is a book that dispassionately discusses the ethics inherent in being a yoga teacher in a Western context. I recommend this book because it explains the psychodynamics of the teacher-student relationship in ways that show core values, such as respect and fearlessness. But I like this book because it dares to ask us hard questions about living a spiritual life, so that we can teach with clarity and compassion. An instant classic!"
Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, author of 30 Essential Yoga Poses: For Beginning Students and Their Teachers
