I received my yoga teacher certification in '99 in Integrative Yoga Therapy with Joseph LePage. As part of our training, we are given a 300 page manual. While extremely comprehensive, it can be a bit daunting to use weekly in planning yoga classes. Joseph's Yoga Teachers' Toolbox is convenient, concise, yet thorough. Each "flashcard" explains which chakras are affected, how to teach the posture, excellent modifications with photos, and these flashcards are easily copied to be carried to class. I can't recommend this toolbox enough. No matter which teacher training you have completed, this will be an excellent resource for beginning and experienced teachers.

This is a great tool for teachers. The book is a three ring binder that holds removeable cards that can be used for your yoga lessons. Each card contains the posture, the chakras and the prana vayus (just to name a few) that pertains to the posture. Just a great learning tool and very useful!

Great sequences. Perfect for useing in class. Laminated clearly numbered pages, makes for easy reading as well as taking pages out , to take to class. As the pages are laminated and well laid out they do not get damaged. I am studying with the BWY in the UK and have recommended this book to all my fellow students.

I bought this book at the Symposium for Yoga Therapists in January. It has become an invaluable tool as a teacher to help plan classes and look for posture modifications. I would highly recommend this book not just to yoga teachers, but for students looking for a little extra.

This colorful, sturdy binder is one of the required "textbooks" for the teacher training program in which I'm enrolled, and I've found it to be a wonderful resource. Not only are a wide range of poses clearly depicted (including alternatives for each), they are also directly linked to the chakras, vayus, doshas, koshas, etc. This is really helpful in building a balanced practice. Poses are categorized by type (standing, backbends, inversions, etc.) and by chakra focus, and each is accompanied by detailed teaching points. I did notice some discrepancy in the asana names (both English and Sanskrit), but the illustrations help to clarify this. This really is a toolbox that I think will accompany me for many years.

Worth every penny.
2 sides of laminated page devoted to each of the most common positions, which include all the essential information you want with some extra thrown in-- very helpful directions for personal practice or for teaching(I've read every book on the market and I've picked up a number of very useful tips), benefits, chakras affected,alternative poses and modifications, warnings, etc.
You see everything at a glance.
I'm thrilled to have it as a teacher. It has not only increased my enjoyment of my personal practice, but has made me a better teacher.
Worth every penny and far more.
Only negative--binder is cheap. But I just replaced it. Pages themselves are indestructible.

This book is a great resource. There is so much information on each pose. It is a great tool for planning classes.

This is an excellent resource for Yoga teachers. Invaluable if you are a beginner teacher or if you are seasoned.

this is an excellent resource for instructors, students and practitioners. Very easy to follow with very nice, detailed descriptions of the poses.

I am a licensed massage therapist and newly certified yoga teacher. I find the toolbox really handy especially the way it is organized. The laminated pages are great, no oil stains! I keep this reference on hand and share it in my private yoga instruction . The item came as described and was shipped quickly; a great purchase.
