One of the most important aspects of the work of a yoga teacher/yoga therapist is their relationship with their student or client. As the popularity of yoga increases, and the understanding of its value as a system for personal transformation becomes more prevalent, being able to establish and maintain deep interpersonal connections is essential. This book draws on the author's combined yoga and communication training and coaching expertise by providing a resource rich with practical "how-to" applications and suggestions for teaching classes and conducting one-on-one sessions. Respecting all Yoga traditions, it includes pragmatic frameworks, tools, sample conversations and more, to help develop and hone the effectiveness of your communication. This book never loses sight of the importance of authenticity, heartfelt listening, and the deep connection and trust required between yoga teacher and student, yoga therapist and client.
