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. A bonus CD features the author speaking about yoga ethics at a 2002 conference.

It’s good for the ethical side of teacher-student relationships
by Ioca
The book focus several different issues that who is teaching yoga faces now and then in the western world. It was interesting to see how the American reality it is not that much different from the European one regarding some problems that occur in yoga teaching community.
It is easy to read, concise and can bee interesting for the ones who area starting as Yoga teachers. But do not expect too much of it.

This is a must for all yoga teachers and student yoga teachers. Donna Farhi covers most ethical probabilities in the yoga class situation and gives realistic solutions. For me, the section on enmeshment was especially insightful and useful. The approach is intelligent and the CD that accompanies the book is interesting and informative. Highly recommended.

A must-read if you are doing your teacher training or if you are already a yoga teacher.
by Lilia
This is the best book I have read on the subject of teaching yoga. It touches upon very important topics in the profession, specifically ethical and moral ones, and gives very wise, experienced advice. It talks about the most challenging aspects of being a yoga teacher, which most training courses won’t even mention let alone cover in detail. The book has deepened my skills and understanding, and has taught me what I could have never learned in a class or a workshop.
