Description
Yoga philosophy is often overlooked in modern practice, but Integrating Philosophy in Yoga Teaching and Practice offers a practical guide to re-balancing this. Wendy Teasdill explores key concepts such as balance, moderation, introspection, self-development, and liberation, and shows how they can be integrated into asana practices. This book delves into the philosophical underpinnings of yoga, examining texts and contemporary issues like orthorexia, cultural appropriation, and the role of the guru. By presenting practical skills rooted in yoga's history, Teasdill makes it easy for both teachers and students to deepen their understanding and experience. With a focus on values that are often lost in modern practice, Integrating Philosophy in Yoga Teaching and Practice provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to enrich their yoga practice or teaching.
