What profession can possibly be more important than that of teaching? Our work is critical to our national defense and economy as well as the future of the world. The welfare of our students, of course, but so, too, must our own welfare be a matter of genuine concern for all teachers. The key to that often ignored but vital inner being of every teacher may well be Yoga. Read on and see how Yoga can help you and every teacher, both in the classroom and in your life generally. With the promise of focus, peace of mind, awareness, balance, flexibility, and strength, Yoga offers "the missing piece" of the puzzle for teachers everywhere.
