Guiding Yoga's Light: Yoga Lessons for Yoga Teachers

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. -- Buddha

Guiding Yoga’s Light is an invaluable teaching and learning tool comprised of 56 lessons any yoga teacher or serious yoga student can utilize as their own. Guiding Yoga’s Light will be an oft-referred to text on any yogi’s shelf along with such classics as Iyengar’s Light on Yoga and the Anderson and Sovik, Yoga: Mastering the Basics.

Written in easy-to-follow succinct scripts for beginning to advanced students, Guiding Yoga’s Light embraces a wide array of yogic concepts: from teaching basic diaphragmatic breathing to creating mindfulness to applying the Yamas and Niyamas to Hatha practice.

Guiding Yoga’s Light interprets yoga’s 4,000 year-old philosophy to inspire, delight and enable yoga students to go deeper. Students and teachers alike can now more easily bring the relevant and systematic lessons of yoga "off their mats" and into their lives.

Nancy Gerstein is a Certified Hatha Yoga Teacher with the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Philosophy and Science, a Reiki Master-Practitioner, yoga therapist and frequent workshop speaker.

Ms. Gerstein’s teaching emphasis takes the ancient lessons of yoga philosophy and integrates them into daily living. She believes that to live a more joyous life, yoga practice cannot end when we leave the classroom and can often be heard telling her students to go out and live their yoga.
