Great book! So practical and helpful
I love this book! I’m a yoga teacher and I’ve worked really hard creating themes for my classes. This book lays out the themes so clearly, with such detail (including quotes, songs, etc), that they are ready-made for teaching classes. There’s 54 themes, so a year’s worth of classes is ready made for you. I was worried about using the material for fear of plagiarism, but the authors are very clear in explaining that the material presented is generously fully available for the reader’s use. I’ve had fellow teachers say that theming is too hard, but in addition to the wealth of complete themes, the authors give tips on how to start writing themes for classes ourselves as well as “inspirational prompts” to jumpstart our process. I’d like to add also, that even if you have no desire to teach or teach with themes, many of these themes relate to yoga philosophy and how that philosophy helps to improve our lives by reducing suffering. These ideas are presented in a clear and concise manner that are valuable on their own completely separately from this book being oriented towards helping yoga teachers teach their classes. In order to have a balanced review, I’d just like to mention a small negative criticism. The last section of the book included 54 blank templates for our use to create our own 1 year’s worth of class themes. I can understand that some teachers might like having these blank template pages so the classes they create will physically be in the same book with the authors’ themes. It could also be helpful for teachers who don’t have access to printers so they can’t use the template the authors provide on their website. For me, though, it just felt like a big waste of paper because I don’t plan on using those pages when I create more themes for my classes. I also could see someone considering buying the book and looking at the length of it and coming up with a conclusion about the value of it based on its length without realizing that about 20% of it is blank (template) pages. For me, it’s a fairly minor point. The major point is that it’s a great overview of yoga philosophy and messages that I can use for my own understanding as well as a very practical tool to teach with.

Great book for starting yoga teachers!
Iâve gifted this book twice to 2 close friends who finished yoga teacher training and both loved it. Iâve read many reviews for it and I like the approach it has. Great book and something Iâd like to also read one day!

Another Terrific Tool For Teaching
I’m a fan of Sage Rountree and her teaching methods. I already own some of her books, and I use them routinely. They have helped me bring yoga comfortably to older students, illustrate yoga as a tool for athletes, and have aided in planning my classes. This book is a little different. It was designed to help teachers move beyond asana and into some of the more esoteric precepts yoga. I’ve been teaching for about seven years, and frankly, I needed a little help to broach some of these illusive concepts. Initially, I flipped through the book, making mental notes and steeling songs from the playlist ideas. Since then, I’ve revisited the book, and I’m finding more and more elements I might gently incorporate into my classes.While the topics can be intimidating, this book is accessible. It’s a reference, not a quickie read, and I’m quite sure I’ll be coming back to it for years to come.

Finding your own voice and deeper “why” as a teacher
Iâll tell you why I SO needed this book. First, when I saw the title, I thought, âYes! Thatâs it!â As a yoga teacher and a constant student, I like an athletic practice and precise anatomical cues as much as anybody, but so often I feel that the âwhyâ – a sense of deeper meaning – is missing. Or, an idea/theme will be stated by the teacher at the beginning of class and never returned to again (so it doesnât have time to stick or resonate). It’s hard!! Before I teach, I really try to discern something of value that I can authentically bring to the class that day, but sometimes I feel rusty, or like I donât have much to offer (or I feel as though I say the same things over and over), but lucky me (/us), this book now exists.The tone and content of the book encourage you to draw from your own experience and voice; not just to use the authors’ examples for themes, but to create your own and build upon what feels true to YOU. They’re not out to tell you that their way of theming is the right way, but to prompt you with deep-diving questions into finding your own voice and purpose as a teacher. I found myself circling and highlighting passages, phrases and ideas, while also feeling totally empowered to nix things that didnât resonate with me/my style/my playlists.All told, Iâm super grateful to have this book in my stockpile of teaching resources. It richly fills a much-needed gap in the yoga-teaching literature, and I plan to recommend it to all the yoga teachers I know – whether new or seasoned. I know Iâll be returning to it again and again. (Plus, itâs a really beautifully designed book, which doesnât hurt one bit.;)

Great resource for new teachers
I love this book. I’ve had it for a couple weeks and it’s been a great resource. Yoga philosophy isn’t my strong point and the book provides both a helpful, high level refresher of some of the foundational concepts in addition to giving suggestions for how to use these concepts as the basis for theming. There are also themes related to the solstices/equinoxes, themes based on quotes and themes from outside of yoga (e.g. Own Your Power, Stress & Rest).The language is clear and direct and (for people who aren’t averse to writing in their books), there are lots of pages in the back for creating your own themes. I highly recommend this for newer teachers who want some help tying everything together. I work full-time and teach 2-3 classes a week. This book is already an invaluable resource and it pairs well with Journey to the Heart by Melody Beatty, which has been my go-to source for opening and closing meditations for the last year.

This book is so useful for planning yoga sequences and adding in yoga philosophy in an accessible, unassuming way.

The book is absolutely a gem if you are looking for ideas about themes, how to execute and most importantly, what to say while teaching, while pausing etc. Lot of philosophy added to take one from gross to subtle while on mat. Great book! One of the best purchases of mine.

Es kommt der Moment, an dem sich die Yoga-lehrende Person uninspiriert und planlos fühlt. Das Buch ist sehr gut geschrieben, bietet gutes Hintergrundwissen (va. welche Themen und Ideen wie aufgebaut werden können). An manchen Stellen wiederholen sich/überschneiden sich die Themen. Ich habe mit der Methodik angefangen meine eigenen Stunden anders zu konzipieren und kann dieses Buch und seine Anleitungen empfehlen.
