For yoga teachers at every stage of their careers - not a what-to-teach guide but a how-to-teach guide\n**Includes guidance on adapting your teaching to online platforms**\nThere's so much more to teaching yoga than doing yoga -- from building a relationship with a studio (or opening your own) to navigating client relationships, publicising classes, and avoiding burnout. Sage Rountree has been training yoga teachers for over a decade, and she's heard the same concerns over and over: How can I help my students best? How can I keep my teaching fresh? How can I make smart choices around my schedule, my money, and the next steps in my career? 
The Professional Yoga Teacher's Handbook speaks directly to these concerns in a warm, friendly voice --boosting teachers' confidence in their ability to construct a heartfelt, balanced class, and to build a career that suits them. Rountree includes stories from her own experience, journal prompts, and thoughtful workbook exercises to help aspiring yoga teachers discern their path, and to provide current yoga teachers with much-desired continuing education. This is the book every yoga teacher needs!

An inclusive guide for yoga teachers and practitioners to create balanced movement sequences and well-rounded classes for all students. Discover a unified theory for sequencing fresh, contemporary yoga and mindful-movement classes that reflect the diversity of modern practitioners. Yoga instruction innovator Sage Rountree's approach to teaching grows from a simple truth: bodies feel better when they move in many different ways and directions. And when they feel better, they work to make the world a freer, more liberated place.

The fix is clear: Real students need simple lessons taught clearly. Yoga teacher, trainer, and bestselling author Sage Rountree draws on years of expert experience to offer a fresh, contemporary approach to yoga sequencing and mindful movement that reflects the diversity and meets the needs of the modern yogi. Designing Yoga Sequences celebrates students of all kinds, styles, and levels. Grounded in exercise physiology while honoring yoga traditions, Rountree's new offering includes: <ul> <li>Adaptable examples, templates, and preset lesson plans</li> <li>475 inclusive photos demonstrating over 35 full sequences</li> <li>Actionable tips for increasing student accessibility</li> <li>Creative ideas for props, lighting, music, and more</li> </ul> Whether you're a current or aspiring teacher or advanced practitioner, you'll find here every tool you need to create inspired yoga classes and home practices. Even if you teach in a set format--like at a franchise or strongly branded studio--this yoga tool kit will help you lead students along any path with a clarity that honors all bodies.
