The Yoga Teacher Mentor Summary

The Yoga Teacher Mentor: A Reflective Guide to Holding Spaces, Maintaining Boundaries, and Creating Inclusive Classes by Jess Glenny

How do we generate enlivening relationships with our students? Create welcoming and inclusive spaces? Navigate common ethical issues? Remain inspired as we encounter the routine challenges of teaching yoga day-to-day? Full of practical information for new teachers, this book is also much more than a beginner's guide, considering questions that continue to arise through the course of a teaching life.

With reflective and experiential exercises throughout, the book is designed to create different lenses through which teachers of all stripes and vintages can view difficult situations and amplify their understanding of what it means to hold rich and meaningful classes. The intention is to invite self-reflection and offer possibilities, without being prescriptive. Emphasising the need for yoga teachers to know about more than alignment and sequencing, The Yoga Teacher Mentor accompanies the reader through the rich, complex and rewarding process of teaching yoga.

An extremely useful book full of practical advice for yoga teachers at all stages of their teaching journey. It covers issues that are both perennial and up-to-date, from being clear about financial agreements to handling consent in adjustments. Timely, accessible and sensitive to diverse needs and situations. -- Theo Wildcroft, PhD
In a rapidly changing yoga world, this is a very valuable resource, full of common-sense pieces of practical advice otherwise often only learned through trial and - frequently - error. As important for those who have been teaching for years as it is for those just starting out. -- Dr. Graham Burns, yoga teacher and teacher trainer
This wonderful book is rich with guidance & practical advice for new & trainee teachers, & is equally inspiring for experienced teachers. Jess has woven together many areas of expertise in a generous, warmly presented, very accessible way.

Highly recommended. -- Jane Sleven, 37 years extensive Hatha & Astanga Yoga teaching experience in UK & internationally.
