5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, is all I can say!, July 26, 2008
By Jan Byrd (Lexington, Kentucky United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Guiding Yoga's Light: Lessons for Yoga Teachers (Perfect Paperback)
Just received my New, Expanded Edition yesterday. I simply could not imagine how this edition was going to exceed the first edition because it was so outstanding, but it has. There is a class plan for everything from breathing, asana focus, salutations, prana, pranayama, yamas, niyamas, emotions, mindfulness, chakras, lessons of the heart and relaxation. Each class idea follows through with setting the intention, the lesson, asanas for deepening, practice off the mat and wise words. What I like is that you can carry each chapter through for a full class, adding in more or less asanas, or take parts from several chapters and build a customized class. I also like the soft cover format and this new edition is full page size with lots of white space for making notes. What a great resource. THANK YOU, NANCY!!

5.0 out of 5 stars very unique and useful, September 15, 2008
This review is from: Guiding Yoga's Light: Lessons for Yoga Teachers (Perfect Paperback)
This yoga book is unlike any other out there. The focus is on the lessons we can get from yoga, and how those lessons fit into the larger scheme of things. Nancy has a way of saying something very profound yet in an easy to understand style. It's very well written and is especially suited for the serious yoga student and teacher alike. Each chapter is independent of the other so you can pick it up whenever it suits you and still follow along. Bravo!

By Sat Kartar Singh (Los Angeles, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guiding Yoga's Light: Lessons for Yoga Teachers (Perfect Paperback)
This is an expanded and revised edition of an invaluable tool for teachers of yoga at all levels. It includes a wide variety of wonderful lesson plans, useful 'words of wisdom,' and is copiously illustrated by a couple of great models. It remains essential reading for professional teachers everywhere and really exciting to see it back in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great yoga guide, June 17, 2009
By Jonathan P. Smith (Illinois) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Guiding Yoga's Light: Lessons for Yoga Teachers (Perfect Paperback)
This yoga book is different from all others. The focus is not only on lessons one can teach, but also what we learn from yoga. The author's writing style is extremely clear yet often adds depth and understanding for both novice and yogi. You can open any chapter in any sequence which makes it a handy reference as well as a great tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book For Anyone Who Wants To Learn About Yoga, August 17, 2008
This review is from: Guiding Yoga's Light: Lessons for Yoga Teachers (Perfect Paperback)
Having been a yoga student for many years, and a teacher for the last 8, I have always wondered why a book like this was never available. Well, I'm happy to say it finally is, and it was well worth the wait. Guiding Yoga's Light thoroughly explains yoga in its fullest form--how to live the yogic life through the lessons we learn and teach in yoga class. I've told my students to purchase this inspiring book so they can come to yoga with an understanding beyond asana. I've told my teacher friends to purchase this book for it's awesome lesson plans. It's a book that every yoga student (teachers alike) should have in their yoga book collection!

This review is from: Guiding Yoga's Light: Lessons for Yoga Teachers (Perfect Paperback)
It is great to have this publication available. There are very few resources specifically available for yoga teachers that add professionalism to the practice. This book is user friendly, well designed and cutting edge. Although it is titled "Lessons for Yoga Teachers" it can be successfully used by any student who has had some class work and practice experience. Use this book and you will not have to buy others.
