Weaving Mindfulness and Compassion into Yoga Teaching
A Handbook for Teachers and Trainees
By Anna Taylor
-
In this instalment of the Yoga Teaching Guides, Anna Taylor explains the vital and often under-emphasised link between mindfulness, compassion, and yoga teaching. This deeply authentic exploration of mindfulness and compassion will allow yoga teachers to enrich and enhance their practice and the experiences of their clients. Going beyond just the teaching techniques behind the physical exercises of yoga, this book encourages us to delve much further into a place of self-exploration and self-inquiry. In doing so, yoga professionals can learn how to be truly present with themselves and explore their own needs with gentle curiosity, while creating nurturing spaces for clients to meet themselves and adapt their practice to their individual needs. Guided by reflection points and practical tips and informed by a person-centred, holistic approach, this book provides an opening to a more intentional yoga practice grounded in the wisdom of compassionate presence.
