If you want to send them to their room, take all the toys away. "Stick to your guns," and don’t back down if you are right. Your children will be better for it, and they will grow up as balanced adults because of your courage "to stand up and be counted." An Objective View of Yoga When you think of Yoga, what is the picture you see within your "mind’s eye?" Many people still think of Hatha Yoga, and its many sub-styles, as the only Yoga around.

Communication Skills for Yoga Teachers Here is an oxymoron for you: Some of the best Yoga teachers are great listeners. This is a general guideline for Yoga students who aspire to teach some day.

Facts about Successful Yoga Teachers (Part 1) First things first: Are you “selling Yoga?” If you accept a fee for teaching Yoga, no matter how small or large, you are selling Yoga. If you do not like my frank approach to this issue, then teach Yoga for free. This is not a problem, and that is good Karma Yoga.

Whether you own a Yoga studio, or are an independent contractor, your money is 'on the line,' and possibly your life savings.

Whether you get laughs or not, this is not stand up comedy routine and can get you “side tracked.” Internet Sales Letter Magic Imagine spending thousands of dollars on web design, bells, whistles, a flash intro, and an array of colors. Firstly, this is a big waste of time, money, and effort. Also, this is like building a gaudy and non-functional house without a foundation. Your web site is a key sales tool. Fortunately, web sites do not have to be pretty in order to be effective. Live for the Moment and Put Worry on Hold - Part 2 For once, I am going to endorse procrastination.

The Truth about Options for Yoga Teachers (Part 3) These are not classes for Yoga students with ailments, or for beginners who just "jumped off the couch." Power Yoga is a fantastic system of Yoga exercises, but if you are going to teach any form of Power Yoga classes, you have to be completely honest with prospective students. The Truth About Options for Yoga Teachers (Part 4) Many of the Yoga hybrids are combinations of Yoga with dance, martial arts, and Pilates.
